Surely somebody can post the 15th one. I would hate to have to start 2 categories in a row, but will if I don't see the 15th in an hour..

Not everyone will know how Ozzy came up with the idea for Paranoid....
The original lyrics by Cindy and Bert based on the Sherlock Holmes novel by Arthur Conan Doyle.
The Hound of Baskerville
Fog moves in dense clouds
Across the moor from Forest Hill
A will-o'-the-wisp grins ghostly green
It's night in Baskerville
Who spreads fear and terror
Who destroys what he wants
Everyone is trying to hide
Before the Hound of Baskerville
Whom he attacks
That dog from Baskerville, oh yeah
Lost
In the fight for Baskerville, oh yeah
And no soul dares
Into the dark moor
Everyone trembles for their lives
Who do you think will be next?
Today the mission is over
Which his mad master gave him
Silent as he once came
He sneaks down into the moor
Fog moves in dense clouds
Across the moor from Forrest Hill
And hides the riddle's question

That is because Ozzy didn't.
The way Black Sabbath wrote songs is that they wrote the music based on a Tony Iommy riff while Ozzy did the vocal flow using inane teeny bopper lyrics.
Once that was done they went home and Geezer Butler wrote something more interesting and edgy than "Girl I love you". Most of the time Ozzy had no clue as to what the lyrics meant but may be Geezer explained them to him.
Also Cindy und Bert covered covered Black Sabbath so I'm not sure I understand this theme fully. Are we looking for songs that use a tune with changed lyrics?
Before presenting my odd cover, I cannot but think of Captain Kirk.

Didn't Tony Iommi tour Germany with the band "The Birds And Bees" before he came up with the riff? 😎
Odd covers are just odd covers - no need to be precise from my side. It's enough if they are well made and bring joy.

He did. 5 years before Paranoid was released and 6 years before that Cindy und Bert cover.
