Who would have thought the Spice Girls could actually sound good.

Because it's unplugged.

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

Can you name all the albums in this mashup? There's at LEAST a million.

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

Through the use of wibbley wobbely timey wimey science, five doctors have come together to give an a cappella cover of the Doctor Who theme song. Happy 50th Anniversary Doctor Who!

Bill Cosby's covers The Beatles' Sgt. Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band. Is it still Sgt. Pepper's, or is Sgt. Puddin' Pops more appropriate now?

Tenacious D took an already-ridiculous TIME Magazine cover and flipped it from bizarre to pvre rock fvry.

The group Walk Off the Earth performs the song "Somebody That I Used to Know," originally by the Australian singer-songwriter Gotye. The catch? They all play on different parts of the same guitar.

It'd be easy to dismiss the five-musicians-one-guitar schtick as a gimmick, but the group actually creates a beautifully-executed rendition of the song in its own right, perfect for listening if you're celebrating Single's Awareness Day today.

Everyone's favorite heavy metal cover artist might be a little late to the party with Gotye covers and parodies, but that doesn't mean he's any less welcome (we still love you!). Maybe next he can do a metal cover with five people on one guitar.

There were too many metal covers of Zelda, so he made a funk one.

...but by Rebecca Black? Bonus: the phrase "with the big butts" becomes "livin' it up" in Rebecca's version.
