This delightful cover was released a while ago, but I only just discovered it via Vanyland.
The 3-song EP by the B-69s also includes B-52-esque covers of Billie Eilish's "bad guy" and Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," which are all just as fun. I'm just a big fan of anything "Mr. Brightside."

Jeremy Hunter A.K.A. Ska Tune Network is on a mission to make ska covers of everything. No exceptions. Like the Borg, ska will assimilate all. The latest — victim? Beneficiary? — of their quest is SUPER MARIO: OTHERWORLD, a popular ROM hack of the original Super Mario World for Super Nintendo.
And this time, they has steel drums to help them. None of us safe from the groovy smiles they'll inflict upon us.
Just remember:

Postmodern Jukebox does retro versions of popular contemporary pop songs. Their latest video is a cover of The Stroke's 2002 hit "Someday." It features Cristina Gatti on vocals. The versions are very different from each other, but I like them both.
