I think tongue in cheek covers have there place. To me, saying there's no
point is like saying there's no place for humor in music, and I know JWH is
not opposed to humor in music (e.g. "Goth Girl").>>>>
An artist may say a cover is done "tongue in cheek", but I believe in most
cases that's just a cover up -- deep down, they actually like the song, at
least on some level, but for some reason they don't want to admit it
("guilty pleasure", "hipness cred", whatever). I doubt that many artists
who've gone to the time and trouble to record a cover would do so if they
don't like the song in the first place.
