Great musical reinventions

womzillaHere are several videos by Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester, a German band who "specialise in recreating the sound of German dance and film music of the 1920s and 1930s" (per Wikipedia).
"Mambo No. 5"
"We Will Rock You"
"Oops, I Did It Again"
"Tainted Love"
And, as a bonus, a mashup of "Tainted Love" featuring both Max Raabe and Marilyn Manson. Alas, not as good as the concept, or as good as the mashup of Manson's "1996" with the Powerpuff Girls Theme song from a few years back.
