Music! Remixes and covers

JonT had some videos to watch said Thu, May 1st 2014 at 3:16pm ET

One of my passions is music, I listen to as much as I can every chance I get and it's helped me get through many tough times, long drives, and boring jobs (but not this one, I love it! Don't tell @dave).

My musical taste has been all over the place throughout my life but in the last few years I've been really into interesting remixes and covers that bend genres or mashup conflicting styles.

I stumbled on the YouTube channel for Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox and have been loving all of their classed-up, jazzy covers of modern pop songs.

They all make me feel like I should be wearing a suit with a glass of scotch in my hand.

And I've always liked this classic ([nsfw] language):

So what do you like? I want to hear your favorite covers/remixes.

- I saw him live at the Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational in LA. It was as awesome as it sounds.

No mashups have been posted yet, so let's kick off the morning with this one. (Borderline NSFW depending on your work environment.)

- as you shouldn't be. 8 bit music is always a plus. I'm sure Beethoven had it in mind for all his stuff too.
