    The orchestra does a MAGNIFICENT job emulating the wild crashing guitar work of the original towards the end! To see him proclaiming "a mosquito, my libido" it's a riot!

      Your opinion is objectively wrong if we're going to go by the definition of "best," according to the form you used, and the general accepted considerations of what's best. Even if you don't like the style he sings, I think it's pretty ignorant to act like covering I guess a song you really like is the best a guy's got. Unnecessarily disrespectful, just keep it to yourself next time.

    This was great! I'm a tremendous fan of the original - I never get tired of listening to Nirvana - but this is what a cover of someone elses can be at its best. Its a totally different take on the song - it swings instead of rocks, etc, but it has its own integrity. Of course, its totally ironic which is something Nirvana understood, too - but from a different angle. This also felt sleazy, but in a really good way.

    This is awesome. People who think the song needs "angst" need to realize this is a different take on the song and that power is still there, just in a more subtle, less "omg Im angry and you can tell because of all the distortion" kind of way. Not to discredit the original, but certainly to discredit those who can't read subtlety in music.

    I love Nirvana, and yet I also love this song. How? It's shocking, the dissonance, of the styles, and attitudes. The very idea that someone like Paul Anka would even think to cover this song is mind-blowing. Which means that either the joke is on Anka for thinking that he of all people could get this song by this man. Or maybe its Paul who knows how un-cool he is and this is his joke. The that I can't still decide, is yet another reason why I love this song.
