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.

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.
