I've come to the coffee shop to get out of the house while I'm not allowed to be at work (union! [shakes fist]) and so far I've heard two weird covers of songs that were in Moulin Rouge -- first 'In the Name of Love' (is that the title?) sung by a couple of hippie girls and now 'Roxanne' sounding somewhat like Van Morrison doing Samba.

Nothing beats Jeremy Hardy's 'Roxanne'* though. Wow. (Does the audio file work?) Normally Mr Hardy's singing puts me in mind of Nobby doing karaoke but this round is just ... the only word I can find is 'transcendent.'

*Needless to say, copyright the glorious and wonderful BBC; I'm just spreading the joy.

I think the actual title of the first song is "Elephant Love Medley"? But I'm not sure.

Just wanted to say that Jeremy Hardy's "Roxanne" made my day. Thank you for sharing!

'Elephant Love Medley' is made up of a bunch of different pop songs, though ...

I'm glad you liked it. I can never open the file without having to listen to it about five or six times. :)

OOhhh I see, so you mean the actual song that continues on from that one little medley part? That makes sense...

I have to say, I listened to it twice and the "Roxaa-PUT ON THE RED LIGHT" gets me every time.
