"Coverville is a podcast, produced three times a week, that focuses on cover songs - a new rendition of a previously recorded song."Next time you want to listen to a whole bunch of Velvet Underground covers or perhaps some a capella covers of Sting songs (snicker, snicker), head over to Coverville. It is simply an amazing website.
I couldn't get the site's "search" function to work but if you go to the "Archives" and do a CTRL-F (or, as I recently discovered, simply press the "/" key) to search by band.
(Holy moly: I just located a bluegrass tribute to Van Halen and an entire show dedicated to covers of well-known songs performed in other languages - "Rock El Casbah"!)

ah, more time suckocity.
now you're dissing Sting too?
As for cover versions, the best I ever heard was the London Philharmonic playing "The Wall". Awesomeness.
did you hear about the cover band for the barenaked ladies? they're called the dressing gowns.
(have i said this before?)
TR: but sweet suckocity. And no, I had not heard about the Dressing Gowns :)
Puppy: how about a really weird bhangra version?
??!: Only Sting. Not The Police. (I thought LP's "The Wall" made the album even more bombastic, if such a thing is even possible :))
You had to go and mention Van fucking Halen. Spoiler!
AQC: Er..sorry?
