Well now I'm going to have to go look for other versions, aren't I?
Poor me.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The original was “Hey Sah-Lo-Ney” by Mickey Lee Lane from 1965.

Am I misremembering, or was Tep a Michael Franti / Spearhead fan?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Is she? Cool. I am. Loves me some Franti/Spearhead

Dangermouse and Banksy have released their own version of the Paris Hilton CD: [link]
According to a press release, Waxploitation, the management company for Danger Mouse, has confirmed that Dangermouse was involved. The only comment they have so far offered on their remix is "Its hard to improve on perfection, but we had to try."
Supposedly, bids are starting at $46 on eBay, but I haven't checked myself yet. I think I'll wait for the mp3s to start circulating.

ION, Slim Harpo is sooooo cool. God, I love his (a) guitar sound; (b) songs; (c) vocals; (d) harp. No wonder the Stones copied him so much.
I also scored used copies of Born Bad, volumes 2 and 6, which are currently selling for about $50 on the ebay/Amazon used seller market.
I have all the originals on vinyl, but I've been trying to get them on CD.

I saw the video for Joan's current song "AC/DC" (a Sweet cover) and she looks Even Hotter Than Usual.
