Music - The Sunny Side of the Moon: The Best of Richard Cheese

I ran across Richard Cheese among my Internet travels, and knew right away I would have to get more.  He takes pop and rock songs, the lamer the better, and instantly makes them cool by doing covers of them with a full Big Band backing him up and singing them in Vegas Lounge-Singer style.  This is the first song I heard from him:

Richard Cheese - Somebody Told Me (The Killers cover)

For comparison, here's the original:

Killers - Somebody Told Me

So once I'd heard Mr. Cheese's take on this song, I had to get more.  Unfortunately, iTunes didn't have anything of his at the time (though now they do), so I put some of his CDs on my Amazon wishlist.  Lo and behold, my mother, who is almost as demented as I am, bought it for me for Christmas.

Here's one of the songs:

Richard Cheese - Fight For Your Right [Big Band Version]

Sorry, I don't know why the cover art won't show here.  And again, for reference, the original:

Beastie Boys - Fight for Your Right

There are 18 parodies on this CD, and they're all hilarious.
