Shadow Play (whoever that is) covers "Sketch for Summer" by the Durutti Column. WTF?! It's pretty tedious sitting through all three minutes of it, as it sounds basically like, well, the Durutti Column recorded live on a camcorder, and without all the little trills and flourishes (i.e., the best parts).

There are many amateur covers of the theme music from Super Mario Bros on Youtube. This split-screen overdubbed three-part version stands out for the player's odd sense of rhythm, which he claims (in comments) are actually just "bad mixing."

David and Alan have been uploading their Jandek-esque atonal interpretations of classic pop covers at the rate of one or two a week for several years, most have viewing figures in the low tens or less: http://www.youtube.com/user/allycomber/videos
one thing I especially like is that they don't let you know what song they're tackling today in the upload title, it's a total lucky dip
