Sure, that's funny. I didn't follow the link, but I think I know what you're talking about.

When I saw W. S.'s "version," I learned the original tune by ear and irritated just about anyone within earshot with it.

Why not? It's a decent pop tune, I guess, if you're into that kind of thing.

W. S.'s insane.

I'd rather hear Patrick Stewart recite it.

Is there an island we can ship pathetic old celebrities to so we don't have to see them sell out their dignity for money?

Well, not exactly.

Unless, of course, recitation can be considered singing.

In a heartbeat.

Nope.

Our society insists that we set them adrift on an ego drenched sea of blatant commercialism.


Besides, what the hell else would the various assortment of mind numbing tabloids have to write about?
