(np) most bizarre cover version ever

[Daniel Harper]

Yes, that's a bizarre cover. I particularly love this one though.

And, to me, it's almost Pynchonian in its attempt to take something that's
crass and disposable (the original Fergie song) and simultaneously make fun
of it and endlessly deepen it. Fergie's version had the same lyrics as
Morissette's, but Fergie's is about how awesome she is, whereas in Alanis's
version the point is that _all_ she has is her humps, and isn't that
pathetic.

Sorry to bring this back on-topic or whatever. <laughs>
