Nahhh
I realise you're a huge fan of his & everything but I just can't take that song seriously with an american accent singing it.
It's about as convincing as Oasis doing Sweet Home Alabama.
 
Jose Gonzalez has made a bunch of good covers. I like his music a lot in general and he plays his covers in the same style as everything else he does so they come off sounding very natural while still getting to the essences of the originals.

I don't know if its because I have a huge bias in favor of both Black Sabbath and Dead Kennedys but I find both of those covers to be insulting when compared to their source material.

KMFDM's cover of Material Girl is probably the best cover ever.
 
George Micheal's is the ****..... No Doubt about it.

But I love Limp Bizkits Faith cover its a little played out now for me... But the Non Radio edit version is the ****, The version where they actually get loud. I always found the original a little mellow for me but it is a major classic.

You can dis everything on my list but
Johnny Cash's -Hurt (NIN)
Johnny Cash's -Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - High Ground (Stevie Wonder)
I dont understand why anyone would hate on those covers Just Sacrilegious in my eyes......

BTW I appreciate or some how enjoy every original song of the covers I listed.... I think a lot of people get offended by covers because they think it another artist saying they can do it better. When it really is or least should be only a ode to a great song in their own style.
