Now That's What I Call Folk-Hop! Volume 1
A friend of mine at the office instant messaged this link to me this afternoon, and I laughed so hard at it that my colleagues heard me and asked what was so funny... I am proud to tell you that I then played this song in the headquarters halls of Corporate America, thus setting off laughter across three cubes.
If any of us were asked the question, "What song of all songs in the last 20 years would best lend itself to a gentle, country-folk cover version?", I know we'd all answer the same way. Of course, there's only one answer:
Baby Got Back, by Sir Mix-a-Lot.
You haven't lived until you've heard a white folk music voice crooning about his anaconda while a gentle banjo keeps rhythm behind him. Gotta tell you, I don't know who Jonathan Coulton is, but I'm blogrolling his site from now on. Hysterical stuff, kids.

This is actually pretty high quality here.
Apparently he's got a gig in NYC at the Apocalypse Lounge tonight. I think you need to do some field work.
