  the whole “dance like a monkey in a high pressure
  environment while we watch” whiteboard/coding test
  feels like cruel and unusual punishment to me
When I was a teenager I attended a group interview for a retail job, and we were put into groups and told to design a TV advert for the retailer then act it out in front of the other interviewees. Of course my group decided to do a song.

Once you've been inoculated by having to sing in front of a room of 30 people, whiteboard coding in front of 2 people feels downright respectful and dignified :)
