I've seen the album, but never actually heard it.

Can anyone think of any other interesting (or bizarre) covers?

I know The Residents have done lots.

There is also the "Saucerful of Pink" album, which may be the best tribute album around
(well, I think so anyway), with Nik Turner, Simon House, Helios Creed, Psychic TV, and
other friends of Nik. In a way, it's sort of like a NikWind, Friends & Relations CD.
