Black Hole Sun--lol (http://www.stereogum.com/Paul%20Anka%20-%20Blackhole%20Sun.mp3)

Beginning his career by entering amateur contests and sneaking into clubs, Paul Anka has gone on to become one of the most prolific, successful songwriters in history. This year marks his 47th Anniversary in show business, which he celebrates with the June 7th Global release of his latest album, "Rock Swings." It is a concept that takes rock hits from the 80's and adds a swing arrangement to give them a completely different, and fresh new sound. Songs like "Jump" by Van Halen, "Smells like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, "Wonderwall" by Oasis.

I've heard some good things about this but you have to appreciate the man to appreciate the music.

"Put your head on my shoulder" is a love classic.

Well Johnny Cash redoing hurt was really really good. But then again, it was Johnny Cash.
