The Scissor Sisters cover of Comfortably Numb is very odd done in a techno disco vibe.

 

[NoiseNinja]

Slightly bizarre but non the less amazing cover of this The Cure classic, and the official music video for the cover even more so, weird even by Dinosaur Jr. music video standards :

How is that ‘bizarre’? It’s cutesy/clever in an ironic way, but accessible. Bizarre is like that Residents stuff I posted. Twisted, torn down, deconstructed.
Even something like these...they’re not bizarre, just punk wiseass renditions of sacred cow songs done for laughs...

 

[Richland123]

A creepy cover of Happy Together

 

[Ostie]

Thunderstruck by Steve & Seagulls.

I'm Not Lisa from Burl is my favorite Killdozer cover


Killdozer's For Ladies Only cover album is pretty awesome as well. Not really bizarre though.

 

[Richland123]

How about a goofy cover of Beat It?

 

[LostJohnny]

I can't believe I forgot this one - although it's not so much "bizarre" as "bizarrely awesome":
