Actually, it's by Sonic Youth with a Lee vocal. It was on the Sgt. Pepper Knew My Father compilation, which was one of the very first "alernative bands doing tribute versions of classic rock albums" ever, establishing a longstanding tradition of Sonic Youth's to be on as many of them as possible.
Some of my favorite Beatles covers:
"Day Tripper" by Sergio Mendez and Brasil 66
All of the "Mother Nature's Son" album by Ramsey Lewis, but especially the wacked out version of "Everybody's Got Something to Hide (Except for Me and My Monkey)"
"We Can Work It Out" by Stevie Wonder
"Cry Baby Cry" by Bardo Pond
"Wild Honey Pie" by Das Damen
"Flying" by the Residents
"Flying" by Shockabilly
"Within Your Withoutsides" by Pork Queen (only sort of a cover, but a cool variation regardless).
"I'm a Loser" by Eugene Chadbourne
"Every Little Thing She Does" by Yes (from the 1st, pre-Steve Howe album)
"The Long and Winding Road" by Aretha Franklin
"Come Together" by Ike and Tina Turner
"Rain" by Bongwater
"Day Tripper" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" by Jimi Hendrix
"Across the Universe" by Laibach
"Help!" and "Ticket to Ride" by the Carpenters
"Help!" by the Damned
"Help!" by Jose Feliciano
"Here There and Everywhere" by Perry Como (yeah it's horrible, but enjoyably so)
"Helter Skelter" by Motley Crue (see Perry Como)
"Eleanor Rigby" by Ray Charles
"Something" by Jim Fucking Nabors
"Get Back" by Enoch Light an the Light Brigade
"Helter Skelter" by Siouxsie and the Banshees
