The End of the World

GW Bush sings (in a Rex Harrison sort of a way) The End of the World As We Know It.

This one might actually make your head explode.

So do we have a new art form here — mashing up samples to make unlikely/impossible singer/song combos? If so, it’s a temporary thing. Part of the fun is that some of the rivets show. When the technology gets so good that it becomes child’s play to make Hillary Clinton do a duet with Dick Cheney on “I Got You Babe,” then it won’t be fun any more.

Obligatory link to Sonny & Cher (1965) and much more interesting link to two of the less likely people ever singing “I’ve Got You Babe” (1973).

The Bowie/Faithful rendition of "I've Got You Babe" is quite charming really. But what the hell was up with those outfits?
