What's your favorite cover song? Here's some of my favorites, and if you can't tell, I love acoustic type stuff:

Brett Scallions (lead singer for Fuel) - Daniel (Elton John)

Your first two are awesome, listen to them often.
 
I think most of my favorites have been mentioned (and thumbs-upped) already, but I will say because of this thread I'm having a heck of a concert for one with my laptop and my chromecast in the basement (so as not to wake the wife and kiddos) right now.

*edit: And that Boyce fella does some pretty good work.

Jake Hooker recently passed away. He was in a group called The Arrows who first performed the following song:

This is actually a live string arrangement of the cover, but I was at this show and it was so damn awesome I wanted to post it. Iron and Wine's cover of the original by the Postal Service stands on its own just fine.
 
One of my favorite covers ever that hasn't been mentioned yet I don't believe.......

Another favorite of mine, mostly due to the setting. There is a little bit of feedback now and then, but that's to be expected for guys playing on the street corner.

I can't believe more people aren't putting money in their guitar case though. That's flat out stealing IMO, to listen to that for free.

I just love the setting though, with the full moon coming and going behind the clouds, the people, and of course the quality of music.

Folk singer Peter Mulvey doing a cover of the Waterboys' Whole of the Moon. Love this version.
 
Wait... I almost forgot about possibly my favorite cover of all time.... Pearl Jam doing The Who's "Love Reign O'er Me".....
