"If ever a song screamed out for a bossa nova deconstruction it’s this one. The way they treat the frantic middle section of the song is particularly nice." From http://coverfreak.com/2009/02/22/songs-of-the-silver-screen/

Mutsuhiro Nishiwaki - Ben (Michael Jackson)
"I know very little about this guy. Apparently he rigs up music boxes to play popular songs. He’s got six albums of movie themes out there along with two Christmas albums. Once I found out he turned his considerable talents toward my favorite love song to a rat I decided that he’s my kind of guy. Buy his stuff at the iTunes Store, this kind of art needs to be supported." From http://coverfreak.com/2009/02/22/songs-of-the-silver-screen/

Loudon Wainright III - Good Ship Venus
CoverFreak collected a series of modern covers of sailor songs. My ongoing favorite is this one, by Loudon Wainright. It was also featured in the traditional song companion album to "Pirates of the Caribbean". Just an excellently filthy song, and more in line with what was actually sung on ships, I’d bet.
