The Pet Shop Boys do "Losing my mind",which is Sondheim and also "If Love were all",which is A Noel Coward song from "Bittersweet"[I think].There is a whole album of Noel Coward covers."Twentieth Century Blues" with artists like Elton John,Divine Comedy,Paul McCartney,Suede,and Bryan Ferry among others.Never got it but I do enjoy the Pet Shop Boys cover.
