What are some of the more "creative" covers versions you've heard? (self.music)

Here are a few to get things started:

Don Henley's The Boys of Summer as an 80s synth tune

Bossa nova version of Crowded House's Don't Dream It's Over

Reggae-ish version of Aretha Franklin's Respect

A capella men's ensemble version of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance

EDIT: This has been great, everyone. Thank you all for the terrific links and for introducing me to a number of artists I wouldn't have heard of otherwise. Seriously, the online rabbit-holes have been thoroughly enjoyable--even if I stayed up a bit too late a number of times.

Worth it.

Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights feels like an entire different song when sung by Cécile McLorin Salvant

I'm also very fond of Oingo Boingo's version of I'm the Walrus, I like how they do the laughs with the guitars.
