The KSE version is holy diver isn't really heavier and it definetly isn't a metal cover of a NONMETAL song.

...looking up Racer X godzilla

I liked Good Times, Bad Times by Godsmack.
And Dio is definitely a metal band.

Both cover's of Fuck the Police by Dope.

Fucking sweet. NWA industrial metal style!

Metallica-Whiskey in the Jar.

Metallica also did quite a few Ramones covers if I remember corectly.

A ton of stuff from Metallica's Garage Inc. probably belongs in here, as well as whatever other metal band has put out an album of covers. Helloween did one. They covered Hocus Pocus. Check out how kickass it was right now:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=libSTHaE80A

And here's the other ones they did. Sort out the ones that were metal to begin with yourself.
1 He's a Woman, She's a Man [Scorpions] 3:16
2 Locomotive Breath [Jethro Tull] 3:58
3 Lay All Your Love on Me [Abba] 4:38
4 Space Oddity [David Bowie] 4:54
5 From Out of Nowhere [Faith No More] 3:21
6 All My Loving [The Beatles] 1:45
7 Hocus Pocus [Focus] 6:45
8 Faith Healer [The Sensational Alex Harvey Band] 7:10
9 Juggernaut [Frank Marino] 4:51
10 White Room [Cream] 5:48
11 Mexican [Babe Ruth] 5:48

The best metal cover of a non metal song that I've heard BY FAR is Iron Maiden's version of Cross Eyed Mary (Jethro Tull).

Bile-The copy Machine album, not really metal, more industrial distortion kind of music, they do a great cover of love stinks on there.

Metallica Garage Inc albums for the most part cover none metal songs...

These probably aren't what you are looking for, but I thought I should add them, I would check out the Bile album for sure if you don't have to pay for it...
