Mods, can you leave this in the Lounge for a while please? I want to get as many answers as possible!

I'm putting together a musical quiz thing based on unusual covers (and well-known songs with alternative lyrics), preferably funny ones. Anyone got any suggestions?

So far I've got:

The Wurzels - Don't Look Back in Anger (Oasis)
William Shatner - Common People (Pulp)
Richard Cheese - Freak on a Leash (Korn)
Richard Cheese - Creep (Radiohead)
Billy Connolly - The Evil Scotsman (parody of One Hand in my Pocket, Alannis Morissette)
Weird Al Yankovic - Canadian Idiot (parody of Americam Idiot by greenday)

Years ago I was in an Indian restaurant in Cumbria somewhere and we heard a jingly-bhangra cover of Careless Whisper. It was as funny as hell! Never managed to find it though... irked
