I am proud to announce the second spoken word cover in my upcoming “album”! (see the previous post for details)
By request, I’ve covered Pokerface by Lady Gaga! (As an interesting side note, prior to her Lady Gaga days, she was a singer/songwriter. Quite an interesting musical turnaround.) Furthermore, I’m not the first to do a spoken word version of the song; Christopher Walken did a reading of part of the song, which is also definitely worth a listen.
Anyway, without further historical context, here it is, complete with an orchestral backing track!

So, have you ever listened to William Shatner’s spoken-word interpretations of various songs? If you haven’t, I highly recommend checking out his cover of Common People, originally by Pulp. Don’t even bother listening to the original; it’s got nothing on Shatner’s. No, really.
Many of today’s pop songs, however, have not been (and probably never will be) covered by Shatner. As such, there is a decided lack of spoken-word interpretations of modern pop music. However…that’s all about to change.
It is with this in mind that I would like to present, for your review, this preview track from my upcoming “album” Transformed Pop. Here we have a version of Katy Perry’s “Hot N Cold”, as interpreted by me. Beethoven must be spinning in his grave.

The custom style sheet for the K2 Wordpress theme used at this site, 1:40am, has been updated once again, this time to add compatibility with K2 1.0. Admittedly, K2 1.0 isn’t as good looking as it was in the RC days, I think, but nonetheless upgrading is necessary…FOR PROGRESS!
