What are some songs that you'd never expect to hear on acoustic guitar that I should record & put on YouTube?

I am looking for ideas for some songs to record and put on YouTube. I don't want to do any songs that have been done on there hundreds of times already.

Think along the lines of songs that are really heavy and would sound odd being played on acoustic guitar, such as "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson or any song that is really distorted to begin with. Also think along the lines of songs that are not traditional rock songs, maybe pop songs like Britney Spears or The Spice Girls or N'Sync. I asked a question earlier about the chords for the song "My Neck My Back". Anything that you would never expect to hear on acoustic guitar. I'm going to sing along too.

I'm just looking to do stuff that no one else has already put on there. I'm trying to do some serious covers and some humorous stuff too, hence The Spice girls and other pop artists.

I just love the idea of hearing songs performed with a drastically different sound, such as when bands do un-plugged performances.

Update:

I don't have anything posted just yet. I just created my YouTube account a few days ago and I have recorded a few songs. They're just not uploaded. I am just looking for more ideas. I am not a great guitarist, so you might be disappointed if you ever see my playing or hear my singing. I've only been playing for about a year and a half.

    okay I know this is weird but my husband plays guitar also and for our wedding 'the wedding march' (here comes the bride) was done on an acoustic instead of the piano! It was beautiful and everyone loved it!!! might be something worth looking into, I know it is nothing like the music your talking about but no one at our wedding had ever heard it done like that before!

    For some reason, Meat Loaf just popped to mind. Like "Bat Out of He**".

    A funny one might be a slower and "serious" sounding version of Kiss's "Lick It Up".
