Irreverant Covers/Deconstructions
Ok, I am an avid fan of rock deconstructionists. It's not so much the fact that I hate rock music, but absolutely despise the way that the media portrays it, it's ridiculous mythology, and it's dominance. I feel since it's dawn that one of it's biggest plagues is the fact people actually choose to talk rock seriously.
That's why, when I hear a good reverberant cover or deconstruction of a 'classic' song it makes me smile. Suppose it's the Residents fanboy in me, I don't know.
Anyway:
Sun City Girls, "Tell me Something Good".
Frank Zappa "Ring Of Fire"
John Oswald "The Great Pretender"
The Residents "Hit the Road, Jack"

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.

Al Pacino = God
