Postmodern Jukebox is a group I found on youtube. They seem to just cover modern songs, but do it in time periods. Example:
Covering Miley Cyrus's "We Can't Stop" and it's an amazing '50s style song.

These guys are super rad.
I think so. It's a different take on doing covers. They've got a few different eras.
One had a Motown take on Nickelback.
16 year old singer Lorde has a song called Royals that's a big hit. I like it quite a bit.

Here's their version, with Puddles the Sad Clown. Superb.
