Paul Anka Smells Like Teen Spirit

Every once in a while, a respected (and occasionally legendary) singer grabs some popular music, sets it to his own style, and runs with it.

Today, that musician is Paul Anka. He's taken a… bizarre… collection of hit rock songs from the 80's and 90's and has done what he does best: make them swing.

If you can imagine an old white man with a martini and cigarette in one hand, snapping his fingers with the other as he smirks out Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun, well, this record is for you. And me. ;-)

If you like that, be sure to check out Tom Jones' album, "Reload" (NOT "Reloaded"!)

It contains several awesome covers of alternative hits, usually with top-notch guest artists. Not to be missed are covers of Burning Down The House with the Cardigans and Lust For Life with the Pretenders (TJ is totally worth a million in prizes, baby).
