I've never heard it but that has to be a miserable lie. It simply has to be.

SOme unusual cover versions appear on those Free CD's which come out from time to time with Monthly music mags like MOJO and Q.
Any singer that covers a Smiths song sould be slapped.
Has anyone mentioned Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Connor. She made it her own even if the artist known as Prince (again) is enjoying the royalties.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
I'm inclined to agree re The Smiths. There's very, very few covers of Smiths songs I can think of that rise above pitiful attempt to bask in the greatness of others status.
By way of possible exception I'll pitch just two for consideration
Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want covered by Dream Academy
and
London covered by Anthrax (very, very good!!)

I happen to like Sid Vicious' reworking of My Way....

Fountains of Wayne - Baby one more time (not to be confused with Travis' utterly crap version)
Ben Folds - Tiny Dancer
Ben Folds Five - Raindrops Keep Fallin on my Head

Agree with Neish. An absolute war crime.

Something Happens did an acoustic version of Madonna's '' Borderline'' came free with the Burn Clear single way back in 1987.
They also did Sabrina's boys boys boys as the B side to Petrol (I think) and they used to do a mean live version of Abba's Does your mother know
Jeff Buckley - Hellejlujah(cant spell it)
Muse - Feeling good
The Strokes - Clampdown
'How can I hate women, my Mums one!!!' Chris Finch
Thanks for reminding me of the Sabrina cover version...
echo and the bunnymen- peoples are strange
something happens- boys boys boys
something happens- borderline
greenday- working class hero
bruce- this land is your land
bruce-Jersey Girl
the waterboys- because the night (mixed with the pan within)
the frames- heyday (only done live )
the flaming lips....plastic jesus
