Take away the gratuitous wubs and womps and filthy bass, and you might find a satisfying song underneath if you didn't see one before.

Slightly behind the times...but two guitars at the same time! Genius.

The Mortal Kombat scene played by a guy dressed as Scorpion (makes sense so far ...) on accordion (whut?)

The second season of Game of Thrones aired last night! To celebrate, here's a metal cover of the theme song. Shows about high medieval warring kingdoms are practically begging for metal-inspired takes on them anyway.

Ukranian folk-rock cover band Selo i Ludy perform Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" with traditional instruments in a traditional Eastern-European folk style. I'm starting to like it more than the original.

Taylor Swift covers eminem!

Remember the overly attached girlfriend who sang that ... interesting ... version of Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend?" She's back, this time with her own rendition of "Call Me Maybe." Chills and creepy stalker vibes abound.

We know, we know. You've heard both of these songs a million times before, and not even an adorable mashup of the two by Pomplamoose might keep you from rolling your eyes and saying "UGH, not AGAIN" (did you do that? Be honest!) But this arrangement is executed well enough to be worth your time, and the music video defies the obvious visuals by paying homage to the 2009 thriller "The Box" (or possibly "Button Button" by Richard Matheson, the short story on which the movie was based).

...then you'll likely get a kick out of these guys.

Musician Charles Laurita created this toned-down rendition of our favorite seedy space-bar music.
