Ummm...technically not a cover since he wrote part of it...now, the Adam Lambert version would qualify...lol
It most certainly is a cover. Mad World was written by Roland Orzabal and first performed by Tears For Fears. Gary Jules' version is the textbook definition of a cover.

This was in the Bodyguard film, but not on the soundtrack - it is one of my favorite covers of I Will Always Love You

So this is technically not a cover, but a parody of Dancing On My Own. However, I had never heard Dancing On My Own when I first heard this, so I didn't even know it was a parody. Anyway, I love both.

Your right of course. Not sure what I was thinking about with that.

This one is very old; the first known recording was by a then-young Louis Armstrong in 1928 but it's likely older than that. And I never heard anyone perform it with as much feeling as this.
