Brian, the song "Wuthering Heights" has a version of a Brazilian band called Angra. I think you should hear.

Is Two Rooms one of your top sources for Coverville? I own it, and it seems so. Not that I'm complaining – it's actually, "Hey, a song I KNOW!"
And I like BOTH versions of Wuthering Heights; I'm fond of the Andrews Sisters; Fred Hembeck turned me on to them and Bing Crosby together (nope, not just the Christmas stuff.).
Jane Birkin is also best known for dueting with Serge on the infamous "Je t'aime… moi non plus" from 1969, but she wasn't married to him. Oh, and she was British too.
Yet again a great show, here is another version of Wuthering Heights by the Ukele Orchestra og Great Britain

"Cloudbusting" is also available via eMusic from Charlotte Martin's excellent cover album "Reproductions."
Yeah. You could say that that was another type of cover song.
