This is a video of organist (I’m just an amateur organ donor) Vincent Thévenaz performing the Bee Gee’s 1977 disco banger ‘Stayin’ Alive’ on the Great Organ at the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre in Geneva, Switzerland. He does an amazing job, but still, some might argue that songs like ‘Stayin’ Alive’ don’t
Performed by bardcore musician Hildegard von Blingin’, this is a cover of Johnny Cash’s heartfelt cover of Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Hurt’, complete with slightly altered lyrics to make it more medieval. Man, that song — it’s a doozy. My girlfriend knows if she hears me playing it in the basement
Because the internet never stops thinking of ways to improve my life (or at least prevent boredom one minute at a time), this is a video of the dance finale from Dirty Dirty, with ‘(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life’ replaced with the Muppet theme song. It works perfectly.

This is a video of musician Joel James singing Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ entirely backwards, then playing it forwards to see how close he was. The result? Amazingly close. Better than I can even sing the song forwards, especially at karaoke night when everyone realizes the song
This is a very appropriate sounding bardcore cover of REM’s 1991 banger ‘Losing My Religion’, performed by Algal The Bard (previously). The bardcore version works very well, and if I were listening to this in a medieval tavern I wouldn’t hesitate to toss a silver coin into Algal’s lute case,
