@zebratron2084 *cracks knuckles* I take it you're not looking for Weird Al-esque parody songs?

not sure if this one counts: Bassnectar remix of a Naked and Famous song (but I like it a lot) youtube.com/watch?v=1SN2GeDnZv

or this one: NIN got Gary Numan on stage to do "Cars" youtube.com/watch?v=cByGvnYxrn

~or~ this: the song is the same, but the video makes it HILARIOUS (SAIL by AWOLNATION which is apparently ALLCAPS) youtube.com/watch?v=JaAWdljhD5
