The ghosts of Sam and Diane constantly argue and end fights like this:

Jay Taylor @jaytaylordet.bsky.social · 2d

Cliff's ghost is always there because he never actually delivers the mail. Carla's ghost's voice is echoed every hour telling Diane's ghost "Sam wants you to wear a padded bra."

"A-halla, halla, ho and a-halla, halla, hey
Another holiday"
One of my top favorite #OneHitWonders! Such a catchy tune.

#OneHitHistory The week ending October 10, 1987, West Berlin synth-pop group The Other Ones earned US #OneHitWonder honors when their infectious, slickly-produced “Holiday” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #36. It spent 4 weeks on the chart, peaking at #29. #TheOtherOnes #OneHitWondered

Not as dark metal as Children Of Bodom, but Volbeat and Motley Crue have also done covers of pop songs. Then there's Tragedy that's best known for covering Bee Gees and pop and R&B songs from 70s and 80s.
Use @secondhandsongs.bsky.social, a pretty complete database of cover tunes.

More mainstream metal bands need to follow in children of bodom's footsteps and cover pop songs tbh.

Like imagine sleep token or knocked loose covering a sabrina carpenter song.
