Something I love is bands doing covers of songs Bossanova-style.  The most famous practitioners are a group called Nouvelle Vague, which mean New Wave in French. They cover New Wave classics Bossanova-style. Bossa nova means "new wave" in Portuguese.  Get it?

They put on a terrific live show which features the signer dancing on the bar to "Too Drunk to F"  Everybody I know that likes them seems to like a different song.  My favorite is "Teenage Kicks" originally by the Undertones.  They somehow have made one of the greatest punk songs even better

Another favorite is Sixth Finger's cover of Patience by Guns N' Roses.  If you are a hardcore GNR fan, don't click.  I suggested this to my office neighbor who was one, and he ran away from my office screaming.
