Rick Astley's cover of Uptown Funk. I swear this is not a Rickroll. (www.youtube.com)

I think it sorta works, mostly because I never really bought the original as being particularly authentic of, well, anything. It's a fun party song just begging to be covered on cruise ships for the next 40 years. Astley is a solid pro who clearly never stopped performing and didn't skimp on the arrangement.
