Chris Wickett's choices

Abba vs 50 Cent – Queen Of Da Club
"Recent news of an Oasis/Jay-Z mash-up album reminded me of another mash-up pairing unlikely musical mates: A surprising joyful sounding version Fiddy's In Da Club fused seamlessly with Abba's Dancing Queen." CW

Final Fantasy covers Mariah Carey
"Owen Pallett of Final Fantasy has worked with everyone from The Arcade Fire to The Last Shadow Puppets. Never with Mariah Carey though – but he clearly likes her stuff all the same. Here's a version of her track Fantasy played only with a violin, looping pedal and vocals." CW

Joe Bosso's choices

Middle-aged man plays drums to My Sharona
"I'm celebrating some unsung heroes of YouTube this week. Say what you will about midlife crises, this guy's got it down. Hey - maybe his Viagra just kicked in?" JB

Unknkown man plays drums to Strawberry Fields Forever
"I've witnessed countless drummers tackle this song and never get it right. I myself have played it through the years trying to divine the secrets to Ringo's classic patterns. This anonymous fellow comes the closest of anybody I've seen." JB
