Because there’s zero chance of ever forgetting this is the internet, here’s a video of musician Bob Strachan performing Coolio’s ‘Gansta’s Paradise’ to the tune of Johnny Cash’s ‘Folsom Prison Blues’. It works surprisingly well. I can’t say I’m shocked, but I did wake up this morning in the backyard
Heralding a new, medieval era of rickrolling, this is a video of bardcore musician Algal the Bard performing Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ using traditional instruments of medieval times. *throws half-gnawed boar bone at bard, brandishes sword* How dareth thee, thou foul trickst’r!
This is a video of talented musician MoYun performing the Eagles’ 1977 banger ‘Hotel California’ on a traditional Chinese stringed guzheng. She does an absolutely fantastic job, and if I could lay in a hammock on a tropical beach somewhere sipping piña coladas all day listening to music like this,

This is a video of guitarist Andrea Boma Boccarusso providing a history of rock from 1965 – 2022, playing one popular song riff for each year. Man, there were a LOT of tasty jams in there. So many if you could preserve and jar them you could make a fortune
Because shredding knows no boundaries, this is a video of musician Bernth (previously seen playing an acoustic guitar filled with water) performing his own ‘Banjo Death Shred’ on, well, banjo. It’s like death metal meets Deliverance. Which, just for the record, is not a combo I’d like to run into
