I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
From one of Les Claypool's side projects, the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. Live Frogs Set 2 is a performance of the entire Animals album.
I think anything from Claypool/Primus qualifies as unusual, and they've done lots of off-the-wall covers. Primus has covered everyone from Peter Gabriel to the Residents to Metallica. Live Frogs Set 1 includes "Thela Hun Ginjeet" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond."
This guy did a complete re-make of the Velvet Underground's second album White Light White Heat. Available for free - along with most of his other stuff - at his blog

A couple of covers of Peter Gabriel tunes:
Dirty Loops severely messes with Adele's "Rolling in the Deep:"
The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off
One of my favourites:
One of the worst things I've ever heard in my fucking life:
Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?
Thanks for the Oak Ridge Boys cover I really dug it. Here are a couple of my favorite Sabbath covers. I have this entire rare CD and it is amazing.

Michael Hedges had great unusual cover songs that were usually re inventions of the originals such as:
All along the watchtower - Hendrix version
Emminance front - The Who
Buffalo Stance - Neena Cherry
She drives me crazy - Fine young Cannabals
Like a rolling stone - Dylan
Lucky star - Madonna
I don't live today - Hendrix
Gimmie shelter - The Stones
and freebird as read by spock to captain kirk (really)
all on acoustic guitar and voice, simply amazing.
A medieval tribute to Black Sabbath, with original lyrics translated into Latin ...
I think the "most unusual" in the thread title is redundant and/or unnecessary. As many of these covers are not that unusual at all. And a cover should really be that band's interpretation of the song so will be unsusual when comparing it to the orignal version anyway.
