Hi,
Copernicus Sience Center from Warsaw:
http://www.kopernik.org.pl/en/
Has just started a wbesite called "singing Wikipedia"
The idea is that anyone can propose any article from Polish Wikipedia to be read by one of several Polish celebrities (actors, TV journalist, singers etc). They are usually doing this in a funny way. Most funny reads are recorder and made available to general public and placed in YouTube:

Wikimedia Polska had nothing in common with this except they asked us about legal issues (licence, use of logo etc.). After explanation they decided not to use logo of Wikipedia and use only the name in ctiation context. I personally believe that it is really good promotion for us :-)
The website is 100% non-commercial. The main idea behind is just to attract people to science and generally knowledge.
My favorite "singing" is "Seplenienie" ("Lisp") by Borys Szyc:

which in fact could be used as a good ilustration of this article :-)
