To add on...

The Cardigans
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Black Sabbath)

 

[Vaiyen]

the cardigans covered sabbath??wow I MUST hear that!

 

[AgingYouth]

2 songs...

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was done in their 2nd album, 'Life' - in their older style - loungey disco, apparently, utterly endorsed by Ozzy Osbourne who loved it.

Iron Man was covered in their 3rd album 'First Band On The Moon' with a jazzy trip-hop feel. Amazing cover as well.

Go check it out. Totally non-recogniseable from the originals. Personally, I feel tt's how a cover should be lah. Imprint your own style on a cover... like Hendrix on Dylan, Postal Service on Phil Collins, Scissor Sisters on Franz Ferdinand, Cardigans on Black Sabbath. But that's me...

 

[Vaiyen]

So I guess only the lyrics are similar to the original, and the music's entirely different?
