Glory Box was apparently done live during the Faith No More years. I've got a copy and it's everything you could possibly imagine ("give me a reason to be...a woman. I just want to be a woman.")

Faith No More's Blue Spanish Eyes (one of my Desert Island Discs)

Moon River was well done by the Afghan Whigs and done with exquisite psychotic embellishments by Morrissey. Now, the Mike Patton version would have to beat all the rest.

You'll find that this listing of Bungle covers more than meets your needs. This site is down at the moment, but will presumably be useful also when it returns.

thanks, folks. some friends of mine also pointed out to the live FNM shows that usually ended with versions of Technotronic, Cramberries and Seal - some of which I had totally forgotten about.
