dropkick murphys has a celtic punk version! i'm sorry i can't link it (youtube is being difficult for me right now) but it's easily accessible there if you search.

Modern gospel okay? The Gaither Vocal Band does a good rendition.

I've always been partial to The Lemonheads' sprightly punk/powerpop/rock/thrashy version, back from when The Lemonheads were awesome.
