this is by far my favorite cover of any song. im nto a huge fan of this particular version, but this one that i cant embed is amazing in my opinion.

its been said but santeria is one of my favorite songs to hear played.
my friends have a tendency to play bluegrass versions of various hip hop/rap songs so if you can figure those out its always fun.
also, people like to hear the band - the weight and ocms - wagon wheel. fun sing a long type songs.
