Two CDs down, a whole mess to go. Started with two easy ones. The first is Miss Melusine's cute songs CD. Some of these songs might not be considered "cute" in any objective sense (polka isn't "cute" to most humans, for example), but I picked them with an eye for Miss M.'s sensibilities.

The second is speedlime's sing-a-long CD. I mostly went for covers of fairly well known stuff, with the occasional get-drunk-and-yell-along song ("Muleskinner Blues, especially in this Cramps incarnation, is perfect for that) and some songs that I just think are really catchy.

Also, only semi-relatedly, one of my favorite covers ever is Masha and bedhead's "believe" (the cher gay-classic).
