As I'm in a bit of a silly mood, I'd like to work on two playlists I've got. So:
1) recs for good covers of "House of the Rising Sun"? I've got versions by Muse, John Otway, and a disco-y version whose artist is not credited on my track (it was from an anthology album)
2) recs for covers of Britney Spears songs? I don't especially like *her* versions, but quite often the songs themselves are not bad, and when covered by people with talent and not over-produced, enjoyable. And I've got, like, three of them and figured I could make a decent playlist out of it. :)
Bonus points if said songs are available on iTunes. I'd go poke around iTunes right now myself, but I am at work. :)

As for the other, I'd suggest Snakefarm (http://annadomino.imnotafraidofyou.com/snakefarm-bio.html)'s "Rising Sun" -- actually, I'd recommend their whole album Songs From My Funeral for unconventional takes on folk standards:

I wanted to rec that and couldn't remember the group's name!

My favoritest awful song is a cover of "Milkshake" by Chance, whose (male) singer starts off by saying "Under normal circumstances, this is completely unacceptable." XD

If you can't find the two Spears covers I mentioned, let me know and I'll hook you up.

Ahmet & Dweezil Zappa's Hit Me Baby One More Time. (AMV, using Utena, but hey, the video is hilarious)

There is also a rather frightening Weimar Germany version of "Oops I did it again" here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH49M86Nb98).
