50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

Molly Lewis is a national treasure

  • WWdN in Exile

In the world of entertainment, there are things that make me laugh, there are things that make me cry, and there are the rare things that work on so many different levels, or are so surprising, they simply drop my jaw to the floor and blow my mind.

This cover of Poker Face by Molly Lewis is one of those things.

Molly Lewis, you are a national treasure. It is an honor to occasionally share the stage with you.

    I’m deriving an odd amount of entertainment by listening to the MP3 sync’d up with the YouTube video.

    When she sings behind the mic everything’s covered except for the wig and glasses, which are also a cover for the rest of Molly – suddenly she might as well be Michael Caine in “Dressed to Kill.” Frankly, this reveals alot more about the song’s meaning than Gaga’s trick lighting and electronic glasses. Very effective. And yes, the musical arrangement is great.

    Sigh… yet another nerdy girl crush to fit into my life.

    Same here. Lady Gaga does nothing for me but Ms. Lewis’ version has been stuck in my head since you posted it.
    Thanks Wil.

    Holy Crap, she’s 19!!
    Damn, I feel old 🙁

    *nod* So do I. Especially since my oldest will be that age before I know it.
    I am still trying to figure out when I stopped being a teenager because I still feel like one in many ways.

    Does acting like a teenager count? If so, I’m good to go 😉
    Although whoever said we’re “only as old as we feel” never pulled their back picking toys up off the living room floor, lol.

    I am going to say yes acting like a teenager counts. I think that will make a lot of us feel better lol
    Despite our bodies reminding us differently.

    That was cool. Something along the same lines is this cover of Single Ladies:

    This song could be the most covered song in history.

    Oh, Molly. I didn’t think it was possible to love you more, but here you are with a KICKASS song AND AN MST3K T-SHIRT. I can’t decide if she’s the daughter I’d love to have or the best friend I wish I’d had in high school. (Actually, I already have a daughter that reminds me of Molly…maybe that’s why I like her so much!)
    Thanks, Wil, I totally missed this at Halloween. I already bought her Song Fu finale song about Lincoln, and I think I’ll just have to cave and buy the whole CD now.

This weekend, after way, way too many years in exile, I’m finally returning home. Wow. Typing that made me feel all the feels. I wasn't expecting that.
