My head is mashing up Children of the Revolution with Don't Look Back in Anger.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Neatorama sez:
Vancouver musician Michelle Kwan plays the ghuzeng, or Chinese zither. She spent years playing classical music, but is now getting noticed for using the instrument for pop music. At the YouTube page, she is taking requests! -via Daily Picks and Flicks
Eta: The song is "Sweet Child o' Mine."
It's pretty amazing.
The other day, I heard an acoustic version of Men at Work's "Overkill." Just Colin Hay (I assume it was him -- the vocal sounded the same as the hit version) and a guitar. It blew me away. Lost some of the energy, but really captured that feeling you have when it's 3:00 in the morning and you can't sleep and your mind dwells on everything bad, humiliating, or anxiety-producing that ever happened or will happen.
I love that song - ever since high school. Probably their best song. I can't listen to it before sundown.
When I went to Kenyon for my reunion this summer, the 80s cover band did "Overkill." Great to hear it live.

There's no such thing as bad publicity?
