Alanis does "My Humps"

Recommended Posts

Has anyone seen Alanis Morrisette's cover of the BEP "My Humps," it struck me as kind of hilarious and also strangely moving.

 

*edit* Sorry, I just noticed there's a dedicated youtube post...

Thanks for pointing that one out :)

I've got new respect for Alanis now. She's trying to make a point and I think she does it really effectively.

I had to go look up the lyrics to see if they were actually the lyrics to "My Humps".

Fuck, that shit is so vacuous. Not that I'm surprised, but I never actually listen to top 40 shit so I'm blissfully unaware of just how wrong it is.

I sound like a disgruntled parent (and I'm only 25!) but it scares me to think that girls of 8 years old listen to that shit. Sigh.

Hehe the guy at 1:05 and 1:18 is my personal fave... me and my bro have enacted most of those dances and much worse in our more idiotic public displays.

*edit* Hhhm, I could have worded that better...

ooh, ooh, there he goes at 2:20 as well, that guy is killing me LOL... it's the look on his face that does it...

public displays? idiotic?

:innocent_n:

i honestly have to say that my guy has it all over your guy. the question is why my guy only gets .5 seconds in the spotlight, and your guy gets repeat performances.

edit: it's the split second look on his face as it cuts to the next scene

LMAO

I admit, your guy has funny moments, but as you pointed out they are mere fractions of a second.. Overall I feel his delivery is a contrived, stilted and ultimately formulaic, his performance lacks the natural talent and self effacing buffoonery of my guy, and as a result he comes across as far too eager to please overall... 4/10.
