Going back to Chucky's and Junior's request for wacky song pages, what singers would be appropriate (or inappropriate) to redo classic tunes? They don't have to be singers or other artists, just well known celebrities. Examples:
50 Ways to Leave Your Lover-Julia Roberts,Liz Taylor and Mickey Rooney.
Stop and Smell the Roses-Guns 'N' Roses
I'm So Excited-Henry Kissinger
