I will say the take on Oasis's "Wonderwall" I heard on the radio was sort of OK.
I didn't know who that was.

When I hear stuff like this sometimes the song choice for the rat-packy
treatment seems jarring.  A case in point being Dwight Yoakam's cover of the
Kinks' "Tired of Waiting for You."  I should dig this.  I just get get my arms
around it, though.
