Holmes aka Ray Shakked, did a great acappella version of this classic tune. His covers album is worth seeking out.

Oingo Boingo "You Really Got Me" from Only A Lad (1981)
Most people know the 1978 Van Halen cover of the classic Kinks tune, but this Oingo Boingo version from 1981 is something else again...  |

They started out parodying Bee Gees songs but on their recent album moved into movie song covers. A Marmite band I feel, you will either love or loathe them.
