Funny stuff! Perhaps the byline should read: "Paul Anka ruins the music of your youth!" See: http://www.stereogum.com/archives/001474.html

Rewind: you are referring to:

There is a great MP3 posting of Jump by Paul Anka for review at that site. Reminds me of the Aztec Camera version.

Hey, Tom Jones did it to a Prince's 'Kiss' via AON
Bill Shatner did his own Next Wave stylings ('In Love') with Ben Folds FoP.
So why not Paul..?[:0]

Wow, that is an, uh, interesting choice of songs for Anka to cover. Two or three of those songs might be suited to his style. The rest... well.

Mr. Anka and his band are undoubtedly very talented, but his style is one that I don't enjoy at all. I enjoy an interesting cover, but these do nothing for me. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.
