Comfortably Numb

One of the most iconoclastic covers ever. Hard to imagine Roger Waters, David Gilmour and the boys anticipating that the dénouement of their masterpiece rock opera would manifest as a gay disco anthem at the turn of the next century, but there you are. My guess is that most Floyd fans hate it, but one has to admit the campy theatricality and pop hooks make this Scissor Sisters cover pretty special.
