This is a thread to showcase those odd, uncommon instances wherein a singer suddenly decides to dabble in a sound/genre that is very much not their own.
The inspiration for this thread:
As you might be able to tell from the immense amounts of twang in his voice, Dwight Yoakam is a country singer. However, your ears do not deceive you; this is a swing song. The only one to Dwight's name, to my knowledge. You might think that this would be a recipe for disaster, but I honestly think he sounds quite at home in this setting. Dare I say it's among his best performances and likely an indicator of a guy with a pretty sizable musical palate.
For something a bit funnier, this...thing (song starts at 1:12):
How unbecoming of Astley this is seems to be the point of the performance. Rick handles it well enough, although the mere existence of this collaboration seems quite tongue-in-cheek. A goofy little gem, I suppose.
Now I open it to everyone else; have you come across any interesting peculiarities?
