Oh dear Gods........

There are brand new levels of "wrong" here. Blame April Winchell. Again.

"Smells like Teen Spirit", as:

...done by Paul Anka (I heard this on QBC radio. Shudder)

...as a Gregorian Chant (I could see this as a prank at an SCA event) (Note, I have since found it this appears on the album "Chantmania" by the "The Benzedrine Monks of Santo Domonica")

...as a polka (No, wrong. Just wrong.)

...as done by the Ukeleke Orchestra of Great Britian (I don't think there are words.....)

...as a electro-disco version (This either sounds like bad '80's porn or bad '80's BBC SF series)

...as done by a Belgian's girls choir (actually kinda pretty. What am I saying??)

...as done by Icelandic lounge singer Ragnar Bjarnason (Almost sounds like Pat Boone doing it. This is not a complement)

...as an a cappella version done by Rumal Noorkuu (Kinda fun)

...as a Text-to-Speech synth version (when did Speak and Spell get a recording contract??)

I've had Chantmania for years! I think we picked it up a month or two after original release. It's a hoot, if you get a chance to listen to it.

That's SO going on my show.

Actually, I downloaded Paul Anka's "Rock Swings" album a couple of weeks ago after I heard parts on Fresh Air (NPR junkie, remember.)

Actually, it's pretty good. Not nearly as horrible as you'd think. I do think I need to get that "Chantmania" CD. Prolly going on the ol' Christmas List...

And to toss out some -old- ones:

- By Tori Amos (afaik with permission)

and everyone's favorite:
- Smells Like Nirvana (with Nirvana's glowing endorsement) - Weird Al Yankovic

I am so going to explore these ones you've posted. Except Paul Anka - he's evil.
