We Will Rock You by "Taut French Joel", better known as Leafcutter John.

The EP it's from (and its sequel Criminal 02) has some other gems too. Including a lounge version of Enter Sandman. Awesome.

Here's a (space) oddity that I somehow never knew existed...

We could be Heroes like (I guarantee) you've never heard before.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Yesterday in a square in Salzburg I saw a full brass band, in traditional Alpine costume, playing an instrumental version of 'Boom Boom Boom Boom' by the Vengaboys.

A terrific (IMO) folk-metal cover of Rammstein's 'Engel' by Feuerschwanz.

A rather splendid cover of Bryan Ferry's More Than This by Wolf Alice just popped up on my Spotify Discover Weekly. It was recorded in 2021, but I hadn't heard it before.

Ahh, German metal — the gift that keeps on giving. Squaxx of a... certain age will probably remember the minor UK hit Trio had with "Da Da Da".

Well, here's Hämatom and Eisbrecher's Alex Wesselesky with a hilarious (and not entirely SFW) version.
