Bette Midler - "Beast of Burden"
Krudler's cover of one of my favorite Stones slowies is pretty straightforward, but the video is completely wacky, with Mick Jagger, who doesn't sing on her version of the song at all, dancing around and mugging it up with her like "Dancing In The Street" Part 2. Completely nuts.

Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show - "Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk"
An incredibly enthusiastic celebration of lechery, wherein a guy that looks like Rod Stewart wearing a fake beard and an eye patch follows a woman in excruciatingly tight jeans down the street and narrates as she catches the eye of every man she passes.

Accept - "Balls To The Wall"
An old chestnut from Beavis & Butthead that's almost as entertaining without their commentary, mainly because it appears to be an AC/DC tribute band fronted by Patton Oswalt.

Love And Rockets - "Ball of Confusion (That's What The World Is Today)"
A bunch of British haircuts' morose cover of one of Motown's token political hits might be the worst thing I've ever heard, but then, I haven't heard Anthrax or Duran Duran's versions of the same song.
