If you like … interesting … cover versions, you should check out [When Pigs Fly: Songs You Never Thought You’d Hear](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000067FTM/102-8259561-8172121?v=glance&n=5174&s=music&v=glance) - because if you haven’t heard Don Ho sing “Shock the Monkey” you haven’t heard that song the way it was meant to be.

Oh, that was so funny! It’s going to be stuck in my head all day, and I’m supposed to be working on my part for “Ceremony of Carols” by Benjamin Britten.

_chuckle_ And here I thought you were going to link to the Richard Cheese swing/lounge version from a few years ago. I love Coulton’s interpretation of the “Fellas-Fellas!” call-response section. 🙂
