My favorite rendition of the song is the one used as the ending theme for the hit anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion:

Netflix really did Evan dirty removing this at the end. Love the Rei version the best!

Do ok-ish covers for a Science tv show count?

 

[No Malarky]

Sir Mix A Lot

 

[Hot Rats]

C'mon, it's Talkbass! It's Man in the Moon, by Yes! Certainly the best bass line of any Moon song, and Squire's vocals aren't on any of the others mentioned.

Listening to the album right now, couple songs away…

OMG! The Band with Richard Manual.

Sad this just came to my mind, 14 year old me would stomp my old arse:


This is more in line with the OPs songs with a demure stand up bass and some nice harmony vocals:

The one about the cow jumping over it… That might not be a song, but it’s still the best.

I'll go with Carolina Moon, love that ol tune.

‘Moonlight Feels Right’, by Starbuck, 1977. Features one of the truly exquisite solos (xylophone) EVER on a pop record.

Fun fact: The guitar solo from Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love" quotes "Blue Moon".

Seriously 3 pages in and nobody thought to include Pink Floyd…

I was looking through this thread to see if I had to post exactly what you posted.

Here's an amazingly beautiful and obscure brazilian song called "Olha a Lua" ("See the Moon").

The singer is Olivia Byington and the arrangement was made by Lincoln Olivetti.

"Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.

Here's a beautiful brazilian soul music classic, Cassiano's "A Lua e Eu" (The Moon and Me").
