Videos of Miichan's covers let me to the song Magnet. Magnet is a pretty hot and romantic song lyrics and melody wise. For some reason, every cover I've come across so far has nothing heterosexual. It's all either girl x girl (yuri) or guy x guy (yaoi).
Judging from the overwhelming number of covers I've found, it might be the most popular vocaloid-covered song ever. And among all these covers, the yaoi versions are prevalent. It is immensely popular compared to other versions. There's no true yuri version however. It seems like the females are a little more reserved when adding erm.. spice to the singing.
To get the mp3 of the original videos, note the video id and follow the instructions here. Since there's so many, I'll just post a few.
Note that in almost every version, the uke starts singing first.
Yaoi Versions
Magnet - Miichan and Remyuu's cover:

Quite possibly my favourite yaoi version. Of course I could be bias all because it's Miichan. If you haven't figured out already, he's the seme =x *squeal*
Magnet - Berat and Pogo's cover

In terms of singing, I prefer the other versions. Nevertheless, this is still very popular because it's the most erm.. suggestive version. You don't even need to understand Japanese to guess what's going on with their dialogue. *cough*Yamete means please stop*cough* I don't know who is who in this video. Not that huge a fan of them at the moment ^^ *head filled with Miichan*
Trans-voice Versions
The trans-voice version are pretty unique. Maybe it's not new to some people but it's the first time I've heard it so convincingly. The alternate voice really sound like the intended genders! Epic win! I wish I had that ability, not just to sing but to have fun with it. It'd be pretty cool if I could answer the phone in a convincing male voice.
Magnet - Pico and Seikhan's cover

This video has the Japanese lyrics in their annotations. Seikhan is the seme, Pico is the uke. Also, just to share a comment that I saw: "I wonder how Seikhan sounds like when he's having sex. He sounds like two different person" I agree, >_> his female voice is uber cute while his actual voice is very manly.
Magnet: Che:Sakurai and Hitori's cover
Video Id: sm7265930
Basically the reverse version of Pico and Seikhan. This version also has English translation and romanji in the annotations. This is the only cover that I want to get the mp3 version of. Probably would have gotten Pico and Seikhan's too if not for their cute dialogue. Imo, this song is soft, hot and romantic at the same time and the dialogue kind of dampen the mood a little.
Fun version:
Magnet - Faneru, Gero and ASK's cover.
Video Id: Couldn't find. Help please someone ^^
Worth viewing for the dialogue. It's been subbed in the annotations. Those who wants to learn how to pronounce ASK's name can listen to how Faneru and Gero calls him. It sounds something like Kasuke, not ask as in ask a question.
