So, not Ben Folds himself, but this one comes from his a capella CD.
I love the original, no doubt, but this is an excellent cover and arrangement. Not to mention it solidifies my want to be in an a capella group or show choir.
Side note: Kay Lewis and I do an awesome job singing along to this one, by the way. Especially when in my car.
As I’ve mentioned recently on Twitter, I recently realized how much I enjoy mashups that include this awesome Jay-Z song. Now, don’t get me wrong, I like the song on it’s own just fine, but it just seems to make for some really sweet mashups.
I’ve decided to try to pull together a list/playlist of the various versions that are out there. Lofty goal, I know. 😉
I already have 3 versions – 99 Luftballoons, from the Grey Album, and a track with Limp Bizkit Linkin Park (thanks Meaghan for the correction)- but I’m asking for some other suggestions of the good ones that are out there.
And on that note, I’m going to try to get some sleep on this humid Minnesota night.
Warning: I was on a bit of a Ben Folds kick today, so may have a series of his songs as my jams of the day. I hope everyone had a splendid weekend. I know I did. 🙂
