I was expecting the ol' Country standard.

My suggestion for a suitable cover is Shiny Happy People.

I've long wanted to do a doom cover of Goodbye Horses. I think it could be pretty brutal.

Love Shack - B52s
People Are People - Depeche Mode

How about Classical Blues? Singing classic blues numbers in an operatic vein, with the original music also done in a more Classical orchestral style. No bends, no slides, just straight-laced Classical.

Of course then someone has to do classic Opera as Country - Ride of the Valkyries with a 2-step meter.

Safety Dance
Girls Just Want to Have Fun
Let's Go

We have to hear these doom-infused classics. Slow em down to 40bpm.
