I looked them up on YouTube. Sounds interesting.

There is also a band version on YouTube.

Somehow I've gone through life without hearing this before. The bit at 1:47 is especially WTF.

Don Ellis: Roundabout

[Sturgeon's Lawyer]

Yeh, that's some WTF stuff right there. Some of the solos over the final part sound like Mel Collins on bad acid.

Their version of Yes' Onward is beautifully done.

WOW, cool. They really pull it of.

You think that's WTF? Check this out:

I watched the Australian movie The Dry in which one of the leading actors (BeBe Bettencourt) sings a few lines of a well known song during a campfire. During the end-scene the same song is sung, this time with piano and strings. It's a beautiful cover of Under The Milky Way, originally by The Church:



Reminds me of Gary Jules singing Mad World from Tears For Fears in the movie Donnie Darko.

Speaking of Tiny Tim:



There’s about 10,000 different versions of this...thing out there. I can’t explain why people were so fascinated by a failed Chiquita Banana commercial jingle with the serial numbers filed off. Pray you don’t also get sucked down the “Juanita Banana” hole!

Suddenly this old post is relevant again!

Watched that film a while back. Good stuff as was the music.

With all respect for Trevor Horn and Seal, but I really prefer the original version.

^ Good rendition, but I'm not sure why she felt it necessary to change the lyrics. Howard Stern, who has a show on Sirius, swears all the time.
