Amen to that, I Believe I Can Fly is epic.

 

I was personally thinking of their covers of "The Rainbow Connection", or "Phantom of the Opera" from 'Are a Drag', or "Danny's Song" from 'Have a Ball'. Their cover of "Country Roads" was great too.

 

BTW, I can't believe that nobody on a Columbus, Ohio based forum has pointed out that "Hang On Sloopy" is a cover.....

Well, maybe not of all time but...

 

Columbus' own Attack! Attack covers Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl". It's pretty techno but there is a cool breakdown at about 2:08
