Have you heard of him? If you havn't, he is a jazz singer who takes normal songs, like 'smells like teen spirit' or 'its my life' and makes them Frank Sinatra style. I dont have too many of his songs, but he has a great voice and the arrangements are crazy-awesome

My friend showed me a guy like that, named Richard Cheese I think.
I remember him doing Last Resort from Papa Roach and Chopy Suey by SoaD.

There was also a joke track, where he goes on a rampage in the recording studio because they corrected his pronunciation in the middle of a recording.
"You can dome in the morning. You can dome at night..."
"No, not 'dome.' It's 'do me.' Two words. D-O... space M-E."
"Well **** you! **** all of you. **** this whole studio. **** this door. **** this cat."

etc.
: )

I just found a song from richard cheese called Baby Got Back from Ipanema or something like that. Think of a bossa Baby Got Back reminiscent of "Girl" and Desafinado.

Does he use a lot of computer horns? They sound incredibly fake sometimes.

Yeah, in one song, he even says something like, "Hit it, computer!"

Paul Anka's stuff may be parody, but its often pretty awesome. Look up Wonderwall, Its my life, or Black Hole Sun

I loved Black Hole Sun. This cover sounds interesting. I will try to find it somewhere.

I was asking him who his favorites were, and Paul Anka was in his list.
