There've been a lot of consciously tongue-in-cheek edgy takes on yacht-ish soft rock songs...off the top of my head, the Revolting Cocks doing "(Let's Get) Physical", which the rights holders wouldn't even let them do with the original lyrics, and Type O Negative covering Seals & Crofts' "Summer Breeze". Heard this one today and it goes right up there into weird territory, but I think everything they do might follow.

Does this count as weird?

Re: Weird, weird covers
Hold the phone: yet another cover of "Dreams", this time by Powderpaint, a duo from Brighton. Very strong 80s vibe with this group...they've just released a new EP, which I found out about on Mastodon. Reminds me a lot of Yaz, though Shonalika's voice is ethereal while Alison Moyet had that deep, soulful sound. Yaz crossed with The Human League, maybe?
Their Bandcamp page (and new EP) is here.

Re: Weird, weird covers
Heard earlier today on 101.ru's Office Lounge channel: a lounge cover of "Rocker" by AC/DC. (The Powerage album, IIRC.) Complete with brushed drums, sax, and lady torch singer.
Words continue to fail me hours after the fact.

Re: Weird, weird covers
Have you heard of Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine? He was big on doing lounge covers of pop/rock/rap songs.
