(np) most bizarre cover version ever

My favorite post-modern cover:

Note how here cheerful Richard turns a pean into a dirge.

Here's Paul Anka's probable inspiration for "Smells Like Teen Cash Action":

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>

I find this, well, disturbing.
