Alec Templeton
I must confess that until a few days ago, despite loving clever weird music, I had never heard of Alec Templeton. (A DJ at WQXR dispelled my ignorance.) He turns out to be one of those talented composers who could veer between serious and silly with ease.

Italian Spiderman
A deliberate parody from 2007, which removes a little of the weirdness factor, but still pretty weird.
Full movie--under forty minutes--below.

How to Sing Hillbilly Style
Listen to the famous elegant phrasings of Jo Stafford in one of her typically stylish excursions. "Admired for the purity of her voice, she originally underwent classical training to become an opera singer," it says at the link.
Now listen to her do hillbilly. I guess good training allows mastery of any mode.
