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."
