Veer Chasm did a synth-o-goth cover of "Call Me Maybe". And it is without a trace of irony really really good.

Speaking of bizarre Beatles covers…

MetaFour · 2014-05-25 20:39:54

Universal Hall Pass did an electronic / world music version of "Ring of Fire".

The Better Beatles

monotone vocals and simplistic, repetitive instrumentation that has little to nothing to do with the original version of the song

Ella Fitzgerald sang "Mack the Knife" at a live show once. She completely forgot the lyrics partway through, so she improvised something even better.

Hexartes · 2014-05-25 21:16:36

Pretty gimmicky, but whatever:

Perrey & Kingsley's moog cover/mashup of two Latin tunes: A.C. Jobim's "One Note Samba" and Julius Wechter's "Spanish Flea".

Also, Perrey did "Hello Dolly". Hell, Perrey did a million of these.
