Here’s a lovely break from Trump TV. Postmodern Jukebox today posted a “Burt Backarach-style” take on New Order’s 1986 dance classic, Bizarre Love Triangle. Vocals are by acclaimed Chicago-based jazz singer Sarah Marie Young. I kept waiting for her to break into Jodi Long’s rant about reincarnation, which made New Order’s video for the track especially memorable. Watch below.

An appropriately titled and beautifully rendered number after last night’s horror show. Mashable recaps: One of Postmodern Jukebox’s original stars, Morgan James, returned to deliver an impressive rendition of a true Aerosmith classic, “Dream On.” James’ pure vocals and emotional delivery paired with the stripped down accompaniment are sure to make Steven Tyler proud…and just wait until you see what …

Today’s Postmodern Jukebox cover is a swinging Motown-flavored take on Justin Bieber’s recent chart-topper. Lead vocals are by Broadway’s Shoshana Bean, who succeeded Idina Menzel in Wicked. The wonderfully animated backup singer on the left is Luke Edgemon, who competed on season four of The Voice. Edgemon is openly gay and also played one of the Dalton Academy Warblers on Glee.

“Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox are ringing in the holidays with an Andrews Sisters-style cover of Last Christmas, the 1984 pop hit from English duo Wham! The video, which features vocalists Sara Niemietz, Cristina Gatti, Ariana Savalas and tap dancer Melinda Sullivan, can be seen below.”

Because I am fan of 7-foot tall singing clowns, I follow Puddles Pity Party on social media, where on Halloween he shared the below (then private) clip with just one follower – with the stipulation that it only be shared with five others – each of whom then had the same stipulation. What followed was a tweetstorm of begging to …

In this week’s installment the always inventive Postmodern Jukebox puts a “shagadelic” Swinging 60s spin on the Red Hot Chili Peppers, complete with Austin Powers-inspired dancers. Lots of fun. And stick around for the trombone solo from vocalist Aubrey Logan.

“How would Rihanna’s Umbrella look and sound as a production number from the 1952 film classic, Singin’ in the Rain? Check out the Postmodern Jukebox version, featuring the inimitable Casey Abrams on vocals and introducing the Sole Sisters on tap dance.”

Openly gay Broadway veteran Mykal Kilgore has gone viral with his “Jackie Wilson-style” take on Celine Dion for Postmodern Jukebox. Those high notes! Kilgore has worked with Welsh popster Bright Light Bright Light and recently collaborated with Scissor Sisters member Del Marquis on his Slow Knights project. The clip has over half a million views already.

I missed this when it came out a few days ago and yes, this is that Barbie Girl. The Ken doll on the left is Next Magazine cover boy Joey Khoury, whom you might have seen in the long-running Off Broadway hit Altar Boyz. Stick around for the “human theremin” bit.

With an adorable tap-dancer. And whistling!

A 70s soul take on the 1999 Backstreet Boys smash. Featuring Broadway’s Shoshana Bean, who seems to be everywhere these days. 300K views on the first day.

With a harp!

The Radiohead song.

“Miche Braden (from our “Sweet Child O’ Mine” cover) was in town, so she stopped by to lend her legendary powerful voice to this Bon Jovi ’80s classic. Also, check out the horns playing the Richie Sambora guitar solo. This one takes me back to my New Jersey roots.” You remember that cover, right?

Postmodern Jukebox is posting “slow jam” versions of popular cartoon themes. Last week they did the Pokemon theme. The vocalist really kicks it out here.
