soooo much RAMONES goodness - a few examples:
Surfin’ Bird
Spiderman
Let’s Dance
California Sun
R.A.M.O.N.E.S. (C.J. on vocals)
bonus cut Motorhead’s original - which sounds like it should be a cover of a Ramones original

deepest apologies to Ms.Jones!
(what can I say, I’m a child of the 80’s, so the new wave cover came 1st to mind)
Although to be honest, I’d bet when they made their version Shades Apart was also referencing Soft Cell & not the original

Less than Jake’s version of “I Think I Love You.”
Not sure if Incubus is a punk band, but their cover of “Turning Japanese” is pretty punky.

Ghoti Hook’s album Songs We Didn’t Write has some good ones. And there’s a whole series of Punk Goes Pop albums (as well as Punk Goes Metal, Punk Goes 90’s, Punk Goes Country, etc.) and they are fun to listen to.
The other way round - conventional folk singer covers song from punk band:

I am stretching the rules past the breaking point, but any excuse to post the Pain Teen’s (not punk) cover of Leonard Cohen’s (not pop) Story of Issac:

I love their Unplugged cover of the Vaselines’ “Jesus Doesn’t Want Me for a Sunbeam”:
Kris Novoselic’s accordion playing really makes the song. Of course it’s debatable whether the Vaselines count as pop (or glam-era Bowie, for that matter).
I do think Nirvana’s cover of “Here She Comes Now” is probably my favorite cover of a VU song:
