  For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.

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

  The Better Beatles

  
  

  

  
  

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

  Richard Thompson's cover of "Oops I Did It Again" is almost obligatory for this thread.

  Not to mention the Children of Bodom's of cover of the same 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.

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  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.
