Probably the greatest cover of all time is totally unheralded: the 13th Floor Elevators's version of Bob Dylan's "Baby Blue." It's better than Dylan's.

I remember the "Spellbound" video--"running" through the "woods." Good stuff.
Another great video was "Hungry Wolf" by X--cool fake bats hanging from the fake cave ceiling.

LOL, I have no idea what that means but it sounds really groovy. Do I have your permission to just spit out that sentence at the next female I meet at a bar? :)

Re: Favorite Obscure Song
My friend/fraternity brother Dan and I used to host a radio show from 12-2 on WTUL, the Tulane University student radio station. We skipped the meeting handing out timeslots, so we got the worst one; 12-2am was assigned as the "Punk Rock Block," and neither of us knew much about punk beyond the Irish punk that I listen to and the one Sex Pistols CD that he had.
So, we were scouring for something to play and came across a band called "The Dick Nixons" (locally, from Louisiana) and they had a song on their CD called Tricky Dick Was a Rock 'N Rolla" which we played. It was awful, but it became our theme song for the rest of the year.
I never got around to ripping it before I left, so I don't have a copy of the song. It exists only in my mind as a memory of the radio show: "Dan Crystal and the Angry Wookie".
