Would that technically count as a cover? From Wikipedia:

| On Chaos A.D., Sepultura honored one of their biggest idols, Jello Biafra. Max had called Biafra asking him to contribute to the album with a song about the growing neo-Nazi movement. "I asked for something like 'Nazi Punks Fuck Off - Part 2'", Remembers Max, referring to the anti-nazi song "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" by the Dead Kennedys. But Biafra wasn't interested in recycling old ideas and he suggested a song called "Biotech is Godzilla", that he had written during his visit to Eco '92, a world conference about ecology organized in Rio de Janeiro. "Jello spent ten minutes explaining me his crazy theories", said Max to Anamaria G. of Bizz magazine, "he said that George Bush had sent a group of scientists to Brazil to test germs and bacteria on human beings and use them as guinea pigs. The lyrics claim that biotechnology created AIDS. But they don't say that technology is bad, just that it's in the wrong hands." |
Sounds to me like he started writing the song, then gave it to Sepultura to record and add their touches to it. The credits say "Biafra/Sepultura", after all. But Sepultura did do a really cover of "A Hora E A Vez Do Cabelo Nascer", by Os Mutantes, and a pretty good cover of Motorhead's "Orgasmotron."[/quote]
