    Great cover. I would LOVE to hear a hi-fi version, or, at least, a slightly high*er* fidelity version.

    That was really awesome. You're going to initially think I'm overstating it, but then you'll get to know me, and understand that I'm serious.

    This was better than the original. I would absolutely listen to this on a regular basis (ie, not on the internet in a 4x4" square).

    Yes!
    This is just as good, if not better, than Travis' cover of "Hit Me Baby One More Time".

    also, are you the guy in the Canon Ad on the right? That, also, would be sweet.

    Paula Abdul is really fortunate to have performed this song - shes made a long, lucrative career out of it.
