I have recently fallen down a very specific youtube hole: medieval/'medieval' covers of modern songs. There's a whole ecosystem of them! I'm a particular fan of the ones done by Hildegard von Blingin', but there are many very good ones.

You've got some sedate numbers like this cover of 'What is Love?':

You've got some peppy instrumental ones like this medley of meme tunes:

And then you have my absolute favourite, a beautiful melange of (faux?) medieval lyrics and performance with a song that you wouldn't expect to work with that, in the form of Pumped Up Kicks:

I too, wish sometimes wish I was an inanimate object  /rimshot.

But really, I like the lyrics to this. I think it's because I like oddball symbolism and comparisons, and 'gee, railways have it better than us, because we can predict when they break, and they don't know they break' definitely counts.
