    Any else here at WF like this guy? Let me explain the concept:
    http://www.richardcheese.com/

    Richard performs "lounge singer" piano versions of popular songs.
    He's like Weird Al but in reverse - Al changes the lyrics but keeps the music the same. Richard keeps all the original words but jazzes up the music. He's actually a very good piano player. So, if you have a sense of humor and enjoy well developed harmony and rythym in your music, check him out. If you saw "Dawn of The Dead" his version of "Down with the Sickness" was played (I think) when they were shooting zombies from the rooftop pretending they were celebrities.

    Imagine if you will these examples:

    Insane in The Brain
    Baby Got Back
    Gotta Keep em' Separated
    Down With the Sickness
