Postmodern Jukebox posted a video in February featuring a woman with her hair in 1940s-style victory rolls and a polka dot dress crooning into the microphone while a jazz band plays a bouncy melody behind her.

It's Macklemore's "Thrift Shop," of course, reworked into an elegant vintage arrangement. While most of Postmodern Jukebox's songs garner a respectable couple hundred thousands of views, their cover of "Thrift Shop" is by far their most popular, with a cool two million views on YouTube and counting.
