Oh my god, my wife and I actually heard that at the grocery store last weekend. I Shazam’ed it just to see who was perpetrating this atrocity on humanity, and was quite surprised to find that it was Babs. Utterly awful.

I guess the reason I never hear the Streisand version on the radio is because I’m the only person who likes it…

I like the downtempo version by [Sub Santa](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg0-P9AbF2E)  
How about the [Bombay Dub Orchestra remixing Joe Williams](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6koe7vlxIE)
