Bizarre or fun cover versions

uk_dave&gill · 10th September 2011, 18:26

Been spending another (*) afternoon messing about with Spotify, as well as dipping into my own CD collection, which is about 90% on mp3 now, looking for fun, alternative, or nicely bizarre cover versions of well known songs

(* I do this on a regular basis, which is probably sad!)

Here's some of my faves!

"Voyage, Voyage" by Vincent Malone (this inspired me to buy his album, so there's 40+ more of his, which I won't list here!)
"Hotel California", also Vincent Malone
"Bohemian Rhapsody", by Rolf Harris - a masterpiece!
"Bohemian Rhapsody", by Hayseed Dixie, almost as good
"I Believe In A Thing Called Love", by Hayseed Dixie
"Creep", by Richard Cheese. As made famous by Radiohead, but done in a "lounge" style, complete with swear words!
"Creep", by Scala. This time a Belgian schoolgirl choir, but they still do the swearing!
"A Hard Day's Night", by Peter Sellers. A classic!
"Common People", by, of all people, William Shatner!
"Oops... I Did It Again", by death metal band, Children Of Bodom
"Autobahn", by Señor Coconut

Anyone got any more that they know of?
