A swing cabaret act doing covers of all the best tunes, try on this for size

I like the sheer inappropriateness of his
cover of Radiohead's Creep.

I personally think that
Stairway to heaven is better than both of the above, except for the website advert in the middle, but it's ignoreable

Not so sure
STH is a "classic" in the traditional sense. I was talking about this with a mate and we came to the conclusion that the less traditionally "classic" the song, the better the Cheese treatment worked. I could imagine a lounge singer attempting "Stairway...", but not, say "Hate To Say I Told You So". It's the gap of inappropriateness that is, for me, the comedy.
Comedy is very dull when dissected. I'll shut up now. And at the end of the day, all we're expressing is a preference.
