What are some of the more "creative" covers versions you've heard?
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.
I like jack black's take on this, too
Okay, that was really lovely, thank you!
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.
