The Mannheim Steamroller one is particularly wonderful, but I like them all for different reasons.

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.

That was one of my favorites, along with the a cappella version. Is Acapella the name of a group, or were you just indicating that it was a cappella and don't know the artist?

The way it was titled was Acapella, so maybe the name of the a cappella group. It was sent to me by a friend so unsure. They are quite a powerful set of voices. My son declared it his favorite. Or in his words, "I like the one with the men, not the boys."

I asked the friend where she got that and she sent me here [link] where there are even more variations!! Didn't help with the actual performers name though. But more for the collection.

Hah. That is one of the first sites I found. There is a group called Acappella with two Ps, but it's not them.

Eeep. Too many links. I'll drop a note to the webmaster. Looks like he is a Russian Physicist. Of course, that doesn't mean he knows where it originated either. His site added several lovely variations to my collection.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
MONTREAL (CP) - A disappointed Warren Hill says he's going to try again to sell his fabled acetate of the Velvet Underground's famous first recording, despite being thwarted by a prankster EBay bidder.
Hill, a soft-spoken 30-year-old who started his own tiny vintage record store six months ago, sounded downcast about the results of the Internet auction that concluded Friday with the highest of 253 bids clicking in at C$178,431.51.
The bid was too good to be true.
"It seems like the highest bidder was faked," Hill said in a telephone interview Monday.
But asked if he would try and sell it again, Hill replied: "Yep."
Bummer.
