Not So much bizarre and not sure if the link will embed but I really like Quartz version Of Carole Kings It’s too late, especially with Dina Carroll’s vocals.

Great vocal - Dina Carroll could certainly sing.

Rufus is a dogs name

Love this cover of Seven Nation Army...

Literally everything by Scary Pockets. Here's their funk version of Rocky Raccoon by the Beatles, ft George Krikes:

I think their best ones are If I Ain't Got You; Umbrella; thank u, next; and MMMBop amongst others.

This doesn't quite fit the remit of the thread but, bugger it, it's worth putting out there.

Original vocal track but a new backing track: Slayer meets jazz ...

They are brilliant. Their theme from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is also brilliant. 

Check them out on YouTube!

Ohhhh, yeah. Let's get bizarre, with New Orleans second line outfit, the Hot 8 Brass Band, covering Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart. Given the tradition of funeral music being upbeat in Nola, and the melancholy a lot of us will associate with the song, this... well, this works:

beautifully captures the melancholy in the lyrics when the original is a hip hop dance tune.

The Brockley Ukulele Orchestra used to play at The Amersham Arms a few years back.  Their cover of Sexy Back was blinding.

Got to disagree.  It's bland in the extreme whereas the original was such fun.

Sorry to be mysterious, but I don’t know how to embed them. 

Share option under the video on YouTube mate, and copy the link as it's offered. Paste on here as usual

Hasn't worked for a while mate.
It should and it used to, but now only posts the link.
A few of us on here have highlighted the issue previously

I had the same problem for a while - now it works again... ? 

It depends on whether you're posting from a desktop or phone/pad, if the latter then you just get the link.
