I love the Cash version of Hurt, almost as much as the Kermit version. 
Some of my favorites, not out-of-genre though...

Sepultura doing Motorhead's Orgasmatron - can't find a decent vid unfortunately.
Out-of-genre, I guess this is a good one, Dynamite Hack's take on Easy-E's Boyz In the Hood (some language)
Anthrax's version of the Venture's Pipeline is rolling...

The String Quartet Tribute groups have done a ton of stuff, Slayer's Raining Blood may be even creepier with the acoustics
