I often do something similar to 'Cover to Cover' in class, the students complete the missing lyrics and then write which version they prefer. Post Modern Jukebox, a group with assorted guest singers, do covers in different music styles and have some interesting stuff.
Nice idea, although depending on the ages of the students, I would personally be prepared for some 'interesting' replacement lyrics!

I prefer the Rufus Wainwright version, having said that, both are better than Coen’s
I'd like to hear his dad take the piss out of it. It's awful whoever does it.

Has Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" raised it's pretty little head yet?
