The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is an a cappella song, dubbed over and over again, including the drone background. It’s sort of eerie. It’s a cover of the song popularized by Roberta Flack, which is the best-known version – though it was first a folk song, by The Kingston Trio.

Eleven is a fun mix: it’s a cappella techno, featuring the heavily filtered voice of moderator jessamyn.

This is an oddly sorta reverent cover of Hey Ya – it’s a melancholy & a cappella rendering of the Outkast song, with harmonizing. Perhaps I should consider it irreverent for departing from the original.

Take On Me (a cappella cover) is not faithful to the original, but it’s hilarious & really entertaining.
I’ll call those off-kilter covers.

Scooby Doo is a goofy beatboxing song, built around the phrases “Scooby Doo” & “Eric’s, Eric’s, Eric’s mom.”

Worse Than Pop – We Can Clone Knight Rider Fans, We Have the Techno is a cover of the Knight Rider theme song, using beatboxing instead of instruments.
Edit, 2012-03-14 – The inline player isn’t working for this song, but the download seems fine. I don’t know what’s up here.
