Bryan Ferry has done loads of covers of show tunes and standards, both as a solo artist and with Roxy Music.

I don’t know if it exactly qualifies as a showtune, but I just had one of my usual streams of consciousness: saw a documentary about Priscilla Presley which contained a snippet of Elvis singing _My Way_, somehow thought about Sid Vicious’ infamous version and remembered this thread: So [here it is in all its glory](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD0eb0tDjIk) (I think you can file this under ‘alternative’ per the thread title).
