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

Pipilotti Rist covering Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game: I’m a Victim of this Song

The screaming starts somewhere around 3 minutes.

Rist slays. Pepperminta is my favorite modern surrealist film.

I actually know almost nothing about her, but I found this song on a music blog (maybe stereogum?) probably at least 15 years ago and I never get tired of it. I will have to look at some of her other work.

She's primarily a filmmaker.

The bit in a Beyonce video of walking down the street, smashing every car window you pass, was taken from a Rist film.

I like jack black's take on this, too

Okay, that was really lovely, thank you!
