Another "Crazy" Cover

Nelly Furtado, one of the first to cover Gnarls' hit, performs with Charlotte Church on the classical singer/Best Celebrity Real Breasts 2006 winner's Channel 4 variety series. Why do you care? Because The Charlotte Church Show has the worst TV theme song of all time. Really -- watch, it's terrible. And all downhill from there: WIN MEDIA | REAL

Incidentally, Britney Spears appears on the song "Crazy" on K-Fed's Playing With Fire. Fortunately, not a Gnarls Barkley cover.

Did Charlotte Church get kinda hot somewhere along the way? And that can't be the song she sings every time!

I think the best part is that she looks so awkward when she swears. Some publicist told her it'd be good for her new career -- add a 'rough' edge. Haha. She looks like she's about to choke.

I dunno if I'd want to hear it every week, but it gave me a chuckle. Reminds me of "This is the theme to Gary's show, the opening theme to Gary's show...."

It is shameful the way she's squandering her actual talent for favor of this horseshit. She's made herself into a joke.

"This is The Tom Green Show, it's not The Green Tom Show..."

Hmm, it's the kind of joke you chuckle at, then it gets tiresome real quick.
Are there different lyrics for every episode?

Yes, there are, based on [news] events that week. Also, she does the song in a different style for every episode. It's a very hit-or-miss approach, but I like it because I haven't seen a lot of shows that have done that.

I don't know if everyone else wants to hear it every week either, but for a different reason: it gets stuck in your head and doesn't come out...
