Yes, that "Walking in the Air", but done in a prog/opera/metal stylee. They are from Finland which for some reason comes as absolutely no surprise to me.

Never thought I'd say this as the original is, well, the original and therefore the benchmark.

One cover I really like and recently discovered by Limp Bizkit "Behind Blue Eyes" which of the course the original was by The Who.

I've liked this from the hellboy trailer. They have a couple of albums with similar style covers of jaunty pop songs

I love The Clash, but there's a superb 90s cover of "Spanish Bombs" by a Mexican ska band called Tijuana No! - haven't got a link, but should be Googleable.

Sure I'm going to get some haters for this one, but just feel the vocal styles on this so compliment each-other - Dan Smith really comes into his own, stamping the Bastille style onto a classic track!

Prefer this to the original...
