Can't think of too many at the moment, but how about:

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

Paradise City - Guns 'n' Roses

Debaser - The Pixies

Sunrise - Norah Jones

Not Ready to Make Nice - Dixie Chicks

And for giggles (I was seriously thinking of putting a routine together for the first one but couldn't quite come up with a concept that did it justice and wasn't screamingly obvious):

The Masochism Tango - Tom Lehrer

The Galaxy Song - Monty Python

A little dated and eclectic list, I'm afraid -I'm on a bit of a nostalgia trip right now!
