Mime Impressed
Some nights, a good laugh comes in handy. Especially when you are cold and shamed, lying naked on the floor.
For those who want to know, the performer turning medocre pop into comic genius is British comedian David Armand of the troupe The Hollow Men. He performed this version for the 2006 Secret Policeman’s Ball for Amnesty International. There was an earlier version going around the 'net, but this one is made better by the inclusion of Natalie Imbruglia actually being there singing and generally being a really good sport.
Thanks to Neatorama for the hookup.

Didn't this song come out in 1998 or thereabouts?

Now I have this song stuck in my head. AND the hand motion for "torn."

Yeah...your point being? THIS video is from 2006. And it goes up to 11.
Heh. It was stuck in my head all day. But it's not a so bad, as far as crap pop songs go. But once you watch it a few times, you're sorely tempted to start miming it.

No, no, I actually like this song. It was just curious that he was miming an old(ish) pop song.
And I'm still doing the "torn" mime.
*mimes torn*
