Warning:  I only listened to the single once so far, so my onions are
subject to dicing.

If so, really badly done if I must say so.  Overall I was amused and
liked the song--the reggae ness of it comes off pretty well to me, but
then I'm not a huge reggae fan either.  But at the beginning I can remember
thinking, geez, I thought the bad sounds on "Ken" were supposed to be
parodic....is this going to be a trend?

Well, it helps it rhyme too...

It is a radio single in the US, that's how I've got it.  Don't intend to buy
the Elton John cover album, don't care for his stuff THAT much.

How well?  That might be worth it, but I bought _Stay Awake_ for her
contribution, only to find it the weakest thing on the album.  Good thing
I liked the rest of the album.
