So, how much do I like cover versions?

If you ask me to play each of the following songs, how many different artists (including the original artist) will I have available in iTunes? (Not including parodies, but including instrumental-only versions.)

Being the age I am, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the member of the list I've heard covered most. Some of them are dada and self-aware enough to amuse me occasionally - TMBG's, for instance.

Mostly, though, covering a dumb song does not make it any less dumb.
