Songs That Would Sound Amusing If Done With a Posh British Accent

I know, this is a pretty random list. But it's something worth debating.
The Top Ten
1 Breathe - Blu Cantrell

The song's by Sean Paul! Sorry, but the autocorrect is just being too idiotic!

2 Extreme Ways - Moby

Hi P.W: What I meant was, my colleagues' version of the song was dreadful. I downloaded the song when I got home and I actually quite like it. But I wish you had been there when they sung - I'm talking ear-bleeding bad! Now I'm off again to listen to how it SHOULD be sung.T.T.F.N...

B.G.
Ah. Say no more. Yes, I can imagine that that would be pretty awful. With many people trying to perfect various songs these days, and failing spectacularly, I can picture it from my experience of terrible re-versions of various songs.

I personally don't know this song, so I had a few of my colleagues sing it (a real bunch of Hooray-Henry's) and you're absolutely right - it was absolutely hilarious (and dreadful)!

Just thinking about how amusing this song would be if done by a posh Brit makes me laugh to myself a little. I don't know what Moby would think, though.

3 Back In Black - AC/DC

I love this song and I love AC/DC.

4 Falling for the First Time - Barenaked Ladies
5 Living In America - James Brown
6 Beat It - Michael Jackson

This would be very weird. Actually most songs would be but this one especially.

7 Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
8 Break Stuff - Limp Bizkit
9 Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
10 You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) - Dead or Alive

This would just sound bonkers sung by Hugh Grant or Colin Firth and if I'm honest...just a teeny weeny bit of a turn on...

The Contenders
11 Happy - Pharrell Williams
12 Lightning Bolt - Jake Bugg
13 Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold
14 Spit It Out - Slipknot
15 I Like the Way - Bodyrockers

I heard this, this morning andI I immediately thought of this list. Definitely funny if a poshboy said "I like the way you shake your hair..." Hmm...

16 What I've Done - Linkin Park

Imagine Chester Bennington with a British accent

17 3 a.m. Eternal - The KLF
18 Autobahn - Kraftwerk

I actually almost added this one myself. Now that I've inadvertently voted it into the top ten, I guess we're at equals.

So I'm not the only person who's heard of this song

19 I Want to Break Free - Queen
20 Crocodile Rock - Elton John
21 Galvanize - The Chemical Brothers
22 Mein Teil - Rammstein

My kid brother's favourite band. His well-spoken voice while singing German is really something to hear. Seriously, you have to be there! Haha!

23 Chop Suey - System of a Down
24 Just the Way You Are - Bruno Mars
25 Push It - Salt N' Pepa
