who I am
I'm MaryAnn Johanson: writer and ponderer in New York City who drinks too much wine and thinks way too much about such inconsequences as movies, TV, books, and the meaning of life.

Boo...
Horrible cover of the perfect Flaming Lips song.
It disgusts me to think people might hear her sing this and think she is a clever lyricist.
I say Boo again.

Boo...urns? I prefer the original too, but the lyrics are not clever. Just the typical profound drunken dudespeak you hear at every college campus across this great nation. The Vegas dancing girl/elephant video doesn't hold up too well under a feminist critique either. I like these equal opportunity "Anyone can be the Burger King!" visuals a little more.
Anyway, most of the time when a song gets covered it leads to more exposure for the original artist. That's a good thing, right? This artist gives the Lips credit in the description, and her cover video has 20,000 views versus the original's 240,000. She really didn't think through her evil plan to trick people very well.
