I always find the songs people enjoy the most is remixes of old popular songs. Whether it's punk/electronic/metal or whatever. People just love hearing something remade in a different style.

There are tons of techno remixes of songs out there. Fight for your right, remixed by Junkie XL is fun. Gimme all your lovin' by Heavydance...you get the picture.

A good band to check out for covers of old classics is Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. They are a punk band that exclusivly covers old songs, they don't write any of thier own stuff. There's something about hearing shit like 'Stand by your man" and "I will survive" done as punk that people think is hilarious.

"Oops I did it again", covered by Children of Bodom is pretty funny, as is "The Final Countdown" done by Norther, if you wana check out any metal covers.
