Hmmm, lessee (apologies to any who have posted some of these): 

      Painted Willie--Darling Sheila (really Prince's "Darling Nikki" [Purple
                                      Rain LP]; it's on Lovedoll Superstar)
      Minor Threat--12XU (orig. by Wire)

      Fang--Puff the Magic Dragon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (orig. Peter, Paul & Mary)
      7 Seconds--99 Red Balloons (orig. "99 Luftbalons" by Nena)
      Special Forces--Love Rollercoaster (orig. by Ohio Players [?])
      Gang Green--Voices Carry (orig. Til Tuesday)
      The Dickies--so many, it's hard to count (someone else mentioned them,
                   too).  My faves:
                   Paranoid (orig. by Sabbath)
                   Banana Splits theme  
                   Gigantor theme
      Dogmatics--Teenager on Drugs (orig. 50's tune "Teenager in Love" by ???)
      Avengers--Money (I don't know who did this; it's the one that goes,
                       "The best things in life are free..etc.etc.,
                        ...money, that's what I want...")
      The Damned--White Rabbit (orig. Jefferson Airplane)
      Pop-O-Pies--I Am the Walrus (orig. by Beatthemeatles) 
                  Sugar Magnolia (orig. Grateful Dead)
                  Truckin' (orig. ""   "")
      Guttersluts--Honeycomb cereal theme, sorta
      Celtic Frost--Mexican Radio (metallic but weird/fast; orig. WallofDooDoo)
      DOA--Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 
           Takin' Care of Business (orig. Bachmann/Turner Overdrive)
      Social Distortion (old)--Under My Thumb (orig. Stones)
                               Bad Moon Rising (orig. CCR)
      Social Unrest--Ever Fallen In Love with Someone? (orig. Buzzcocks)
      Sid Vicious--My Way (orig. [?] Frankie Baby Sinatra)
      Black Flag--Louie, Louie (orig. ????)
      Killdozer--I Am, I Said (orig. Neil Diamond)
                 American Pie (orig. Don McLean)
      Butthole Surfers--Sweatloaf (orig. "Sweet Leaf" by Sabbath)
                        American Woman (orig. by The Guess Who)
      The Vandals--Urban Struggle (basically Enzio Morricone's "Good, Bad and
                                   the Ugly" theme w/words..."I want to be a
                                   cowboy...I'm going to be a cowboy") 
                   HB Hotel (roughly Elvis' "Heartbreak Hotel"--very roughly)
      DI--OC Life (orig. Rikk Agnew solo; okay, this is picky)
      The Meatmen--Razamanaz (orig. Nazareth)

These are only my faves, and just the ones I could think of here at work.
But it just barely breaks ice.  I was once able to do two back-to-back four-
hour radio shows of nothing but covers *without repeating a tune*.  But then
again, the KFJC library is freaking humongous.

As someone mentioned, there are also those Mystic records samplers Covers
and Covers II (any more?), which have many covers, some good/some shit. 

BTW, more recent, more metallic covers:
      MetallicA--Last Caress/Green Hell (orig. Misfits)
      SOD--Thieves/Stigmata (orig. Ministry)
      Anthrax--Milk (orig. SOD)
               something by Discharge, I think Price of Silence
      Ugly Kid Joe--Cats in the Cradle (orig. Harry Chapin)
      every trendy metal band of the late '80's--Anarchy in the UK
      Living Colour--Should I Stay or Should I Go?  (orig. the Clash) real good
      Carnivore--Manic Depression (orig. Hendrix)
      Mighty, Mighty Bosstones--Enter Sandman (orig. MetallicA)
                                Sweet Emotion (orig. Aerosmith)
                                Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love (orig. Van Halen)
      Overkill--Fuck You (orig. Fear)
      Sepultura--Drug Me (orig. DKs, they played this on recent tour; it's
                          also on a DK tribute CD)

NOTE:  Some of these aren't HC, so spare the flames.  They're just provided
       for the original askee's info...         ;-@
