IMO, this trilogy of Jim Steinman songs by the same video creator are the best:

I actually saved quite a few of them as MP3s and put them in my iPad with the original versions.

In addition to those listed, I recommend Birdhouse in Your Soul (They Might Be Giants), Daydream Believer (The Monkees), Head Over Heels (Tears for Fears, and the source of a reference joke), Hero (Enrique Iglesias), Hooked on a Feeling (David Hasselhoff), The Rainbow Connection (Kermit the Frog), The Safety Dance (Men Without Hats), Separate Ways (Journey), We Built This City (Starship), and White Wedding (Billy Idol).
