Black Hole Sun by Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme (originally by Soundgarden)
Generally, a cover song is performed by a younger artist or band playing an older song that influenced them or has some other significance to them. This is one of the exceptions. Steve and Eydue, fringe members of Frank Sinatra's rat pack, were the archetypical husband and wife vocal duo. Their act developed in the lounges of Las Vegas and helped to define what we now know as lounge music. Here, the duo perform Soundgarden's depressing hit from the mid nineties. In place of angst and rage, though, we get lush, syrupy vocals and a lavish orchestration complete with strings, piano, and muted trumpet. The result is something that might cause grunge rock purists to run away screaming, but it's unusual enough that the rest of enough have to at least give it a listen to know that such a bizarre combination is possible.

There is alsio an LP called 'The Moog Cookbook' which was covers of rock songs done instrumentally by two guys with Moogs - turned them in to really cheesy easy listening muzak
They did Black Hole Sun as one of the tracks
