Song of the Day!
Stark Effect wins for their cover of John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" -- with a twist. No one sings the lyrics. Each word is lifted from an electronic dictionary's recorded pronunciation section. It's called Dictionaraoke. Songs from this genre (for lack of a better word) edit recordings from a variety of sources into a music track to create an amusing and often rather good cover of a song you may already have. I heard about this novelty song type when listening to a story on NPR. You can get a free copy of "Boom Boom" at Dictionaraoke.org on the Web.
Other great titles include:
- Aqua's "Barbie Girl"
- Creed's "My Sacrifice"
- Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side"
- Thomas Dolby's "Blinded Me With Science"
- and many others
