OK, so I'm at dinner with my wife the other day and we music in the restaurant includes a big band/swing version of Van Halen's "Jump." My wife is hosting a bachelorette party soon and asked if I could figure out who did it, if there was anything else like it, etc. b/c she thought it would make good background music for an early part of the evening.
After some searching, I was able to figure out that it was Paul Anka, and that he had actually done an entire CD of big band covers of rock, alternative and new wave classics called "Rock Swings."
I realize this is a long shot, but I know people listen to more than just EDM on here, and I frankly know zilch about big band/swing/crooner-type music, so I figure it can't hurt to ask -- anyone aware of any other compilations out there like this, where you've got artists putting a more classical, old (really old) school take on popular music? I'd like to be able to find more for her if possible.
TIA
