GAA!!! REMAKES!!!

This is scarring, this really is. They remade "If I Were A Rich Man," from freaking FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. You don't remake MUSICAL songs, dumbasses. OH MY GOSH . . .
It's just disturbing. It doesn't help that she mentions Japan in there about fifty million times-- yet ANOTHER sign that my obsession is being stolen by the pop culture harpies of doom.
*DIES*
( The Song In Question )
I much prefer my song parody, thank you very much . . . and Ms. Stefani can stick to that song she did the Alice in Wonderland music video to. I liked that one. Just . . . just stop REMAKING things, people! Get some creativity! GAA!!! It is one thing to parody, like Weird Al-- that takes some skill, believe me; you have to learn how to rhyme and cleverly stick in things there and such-- and it's a little less of a crime to "feature" and play the old song in the background while you sing (or, in most cases, rap) over it, but even that's pushing it.
Some are less bad than others; for instance, Lady Marmalade wasn't too bad and was more true to the old one (except the whole changing "New Orleans" to "Moulin Rouge" but keeping "Creole"-- there aren't Creoles in France, I'm sorry).
Now, some . . . they just all need to be shot:
The Last Kiss remake (crappy song anyhow; remake was not necessary, and *shudder* that's man's VOICE)
Sweet Home Alabama remake (shoot me now)
Jesse's Girl remake (it's not even that OLD!!!)
On another piss-off measure, I just got this pop-up that appeared like at the bottom of my potential scroll bar. I had to scroll all the way down and all the way across just to get RID of it . . . grr . . .
Okay, I'm done being negative . . . I think . . .
I hate it when people rub their bad moods off on you.
