The prize has to go to Perpetuum Jazzile's version of Africa...

Perpetuum Jazzile is known as one of the most spectacular and biggest vocal groups across the globe. It was established in 1983 and today it is celebrated as YouTube’s most watched large vocal group in the world with over 50 million views (with mesmerizing vocals-only rendition of Toto’s Africa at the forefront). The critically-acclaimed vocal orchestra heralding from Slovenia is popular for its powerful rhythms, rich harmonies, unparalleled creativity, and special blend of pop, jazz, gospel, blues, disco, funk and bossa nova. Perpetuum Jazzile performs mostly a cappella with 30 to up to 50 members. They also incorporate vocal percussions; a human beat-box with an incredible array of simulated drums and electronic beats, as well as the group’s choreographed hand and body movements that simulate storms and visualize other phenomena. Perpetuum Jazzile’s powerful repertoire includes arrangements of songs by Toto, Daft Punk, David Guetta, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Earth, Wind & Fire, Billy Joel, ABBA, David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, George Benson, and more musical legends. However, original compositions have also an ever growing place in Perpetuum Jazzile concert program.

I'd have a hard time arguing with that choice. Magic.

No problem for me...

It's Nancy Wilson's acoustic opening on "Crazy on You":

It's not a musical introduction but it's very effective, and I like the song.


And just in case it works this time.
