I just heard this c64 version of Queen's The Show Must Go On and thought it was neat, others examples of this kind of song "demakes"?
It really was.The SID chip was a glorious invention.
How about 'Gave Up' by Nine Inch Nails?

Awesome original, bizarre chip tune. Extra points for 'NINtendo'.

And I've always liked this midi cover of one of my favorite songs of theirs (Octopus in Fire):
