pandora.com is your friend.

You can create a radio station based around the music of a single artist or song and it will make frightenly accurate suggestions of similar stuff.

[The Big Gill]

If you're talking re-interpretations done in a different musical style, then Nouvelle Vague (punk/new wave in a bossa nova / loungey style), and El Vez (Elvis with all sorts of others chucked in, done with a Chicano twist).

[Mortartube]

Also try Paul Anka's album Rock Swings, think of classics such as Eye of the tiger and smells like teen spirit, sung by Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin, and you won't be far off.

Another oddball is Dread Zeppelin. Imagine a fat Vegas-era Elvis singing reggae versions of Led Zeppelin songs. Bingo!
