There's always jazzy versions of classical pieces, some are cheezier than others. One of my favorites is Duke Ellington, here is his version of "Hall of the Mountain King".

Bryan Ferry recorded several Roxy Music songs in the style of 1920s jazz. His versions are not so much "camp" as he was sincerely trying to get an accurate 1920s sound, and he did a pretty good job of it too.
Here is the Roxy Music song "Bogus Man" in the style of 1920s jazz.

Here is Pat Boone singing "Enter Sandman". This is supposed to be humorous and "campy", but the plus to me is that this version really rocks, or swings, whatever.

Well yeah, that was fun. Obviously they aren't trying to be too serious, the beat is just goofy country swing, this is more like a campy send-up or parody.
Campy kitsch versions of songs go way back. A personal favorite of mine is Pat Boone's version of "Enter Sandman". I'll find a link and drop it off in a second.

Hi.
I've recently found this wonderful version of a not-so-wonderful original. Haven't seen something like this for a long time. Any ideas on changes there? Plus, do you know any other things like this? I find it very interesting, if done properly. Thanks.
