Here, have a couple of video links. You should have sound for these. Especially for the last one, because...oh, you'll see.

This video for "First Day of My Life" by Bright Eyes is wonderfully sweet. *sniffle*. (At IFILM, you'll need to watch a short ad before the video.)

Hurra Torpedo's cover of "Total Eclipse of the Heart". If I tell you that they use kitchen appliances for percussion, that might almost give you an indication of what this is like. There just aren't words.
[Edit: If that link doesn't work, there's a Quicktime version linked from here.]

I can only hear the audio and not see the video. Dunno why.

Can you give me a brief description of what I should be seeing and which appliances where used?

It looks like it might be a Windows Media file in that link. There's a Quicktime version linked here.

Um. Here's a photo gallery of these guys. Picture three guys in blue track suits with, er, exceptionally low-slung pants, two of whom are banging away on old stoves and what looks like a refrigerator or a standalone freezer.

Ah. Quicktime worked. kineticphoenix and I really enjoyed it. Thanks... or Danke, whatever.

Given the state of the one... uh... percussionist's pants, perhaps it would have been more appropriate had he been holding a plunger (especially given how he was holding whatever that was). ;-)

The link did, after all, come from _dangerpants_. =)

I just noticed your Current Music on this post was something done by Minnie Driver. Never heard any of her stuff, but thinking of her singing always reminds me of the horribly off-key Russian lounge singer she played in Goldeneye. ;-)

Yeah, I know, but she's actually not at all bad. =) If you've got iTunes, they've got one of her videos available in the store. (It's free.)

I would expect she's not bad (as Toni and I sit here with An Ideal Husband going in the DVD player, another fine movie in which she appears). iTunes, though... very dangerous. ;-)
