* [[Blind Guardian]] seems to enjoy doing metal covers of old pop songs, including "Surfin' USA", "Mr. Sandman," and "Dream A Little Dream of Me."
* German comedy band Excrementory Grindfuckers does it frequently by covering many popular songs like "The Final Countdown" and "Stayin' Alive," grindcore style. Interestingly enough, their cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" sounds entirely blues.
* All of Richard Thompson's self-released live album ''1000 Years of Popular Music'' is him doing songs ranging from 11th century ballads to Prince tunes in his own unique folk-rock style (the concept of the album is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], a sampling of the prior 1000 years of song), but for the coup de grace he introduces [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIMJDNQx0B4 "Marry, Ageyn Hic Hev Donne Yt,"], supposedly a "medieval ballad from [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Brittany]]" but actually {{spoiler|a medieval-styled version of "Oops, I Did It Again", complete with lyrics in Old English}}.
** He's also performed it ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAS4ltt7DzI straight]''.
