davidnEveryone's posting this this weekend! I'd better do the same before you've already seen it.
The Swinger, by Tristan Jehan
It's a demonstration of a little sound manipulation routine that stretches one beat and then compresses the next in turn, forcibly introducing a swing rhythm to songs whether they want it or not. Sweet Child O' Mine and particularly Enter Sandman become absolutely hysterical when mutated in this way - the library's available to download if you want to attempt it on your own library, but I don't have Python installed here.
I think it really appeals to my preferred musical genre's habit of taking songs and then (sometimes accidentally) doing really inappropriate versions of them. Kai Hansen did It's a Sin, for example - according to one interview, he'd seen Neil Tennant saying that he hated metal, and then went off and did the cover specifically to wind him up.
