Where can I find interesting versions (i.e. opera, acoustic, rock, etc.) of traditional children nursery rhymes/folk songs? Any language is fine.

I'm especially looking for Little Miss Muffet and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star but anything else is fine.
Foreign languages are fine too, especially French or Japanese.

Miss Muffet in the style of Benjamin Britten.

Start Over (mp3 link) - MC Frontalot is a sort-of retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.
Granted, it's not originally a poem or song, but it is a children's story.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
That was originally done by Mozart, right?

Kristin Hersh from Throwing Muses released a solo album of gothic folk songs from her Appalachian childhood called Murder, Misery and Then Goodnight. While not as well-known as traditional nursery rhymes and folk songs, they're most definitely interesting ... and I can tell you from experience, there's nothing more wryly amusing than watching a four year old sing What'll We Do With The Baby-o while jumping rope.

Mozart: Variations on "Ah, vous dirai-je, maman"
And, for certain definitions of "interesting," there's the refrain of Nelly's "Country Grammar" :)
