I think this entire album takes the cake, listen to some of the song samples. Enter Sandman is my fave!

Wierd Al Yankovic does this sort of stuff.

I found the second one as a mp3 file not so long ago, but the other one was only out on vinyl as I recall.

I always liked Type O Negative's covers. They usually slip one in on each album. They have done Cinnamon Girl, Summer Breeze, and a medly of Beatles tunes, with Daytripper being the central one.
Jose Feliciano does great covers of Beatles tunes
Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.
