About time, Bob, that you figured out the Beatles were good! :-)
I was more thrilled about that song when I thought it was by Blink 182. That
would be a trip, them doing Joni covers.
Speaking of covers, I took my grandson a couple of weekends ago to see that
movie "Recess." It is not bad as far as a Disney movie, kind of charming in
that the movie is -- and don't tell Marcel or Kakki -- an parody/attack on
William Bennett and even better, George W. Bush's education proposals... every
time the bad guy started talking about student testing, I smiled.
Not sure who the sound track was pitched to, certainly not the parents but the
grandparents of the target audience as it was all 60s music, except for
"Nessum Dorma" and a absolutely hilarious quote from Pink Floyd's "The Wall".
The movie ends with the funniest cover a tune since Lyle Lovett closed out
"The Crying Game" by singing 'Stand by Your Man.'
"Recess" ends with Robert Goulet doing a cover of the Lemon Piper's (I saw
them in concert once) song "Green Tambourine."
That is my nominee for the second worst, most bizarre, and funniest cover
ever, the all-time winner being, forever, Frank Sinatra's cover of
"Something" and that gets us back to the Beatles so I've gone full cycle in
less than 10,000 words so I am out of here!

NP: some Donkey Kong movie (hey, my grandson picked it out) and it has a
miserable sound-track, earlier in this email Donkey Kong was doing a Bee Gees
type disco number and it was so pathetic.
