It's Thursday, which means it's Postmodern Jukebox Video Day.

Today's PMJ cover is of New Order's '80s punk rock song "Bizarre Love Triangle" sung in the style of Burt Bacharach. Bacharach is known for songs including "Wishin' and Hopin' " and "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head," as well as the Broadway musical Promises, Promises. So basically, this cover sounds absolutely nothing like New Order's original.

Vocally, Sarah Marie Young's seamlessly transitions from light and dainty to a belt-y powerhouse delivering lyrics that will probably haunt you for the rest of the week.
