In addition to Circle Jerks' "Golden.." is their recording of "Put A Little Love In Your Heart."
Flying Lizards also hit the UK chart with Eddie Cochrane's "Summertime Blues."

Somehow there should be a separate thread for Madonna-only covers because C

Can't remember who did this, but "covered" the Bangle's with "walk with an erection" I'm sure some of the gurus here know. Help.

The Sex Pistols version of (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone
is truly out there, and all the better because of it.

I've put a copy of Shatner's version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" in a safe place should I ever need a laugh, or need to kill myself: I haven't decided which option the song would be most appropriate for.

Oops, nearly forgot Wall of Voodoo's cover of "Ring of Fire". I think that meets the criteria for a bizarre remake.

If you like punk-ed up covers like I do then you should check out Me First & the Gimmee Gimmee's four entire CD's of such stuff - "Uptown Girl", "Mandy", "Leaving on A Jet Plane"... you get the idea. Tiresome after a while, but fun in small doses.

The Meatmen covering the Smiths' How Soon Is Now? Fucking bizarre. I have a bunch of bands covering the Smiths from Sinead O'Connor to Everclear if anyone's interested. Weird, interesting, funny, bizarre.....

Hurra Torpedo's version of 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' might just fall in here...

Speaking of Devo remakes, they recently did a remake of NIN "Head Like a Hole" that is strange, but fun at the same time.
