Before Morisette covered it, it was the worst substance ever excreted by the Black Eyed Peas. I'm pretty sure this cover isn't a serious work

I've heard of this version of the song before, but never actually heard it until now. I'm extremely amused - she's taken the most obnoxious, repugnant pop trash song of its year, and re-styled it as a beautiful ballad. While preserving the dumb-ass lyrics in all their retarded glory. It's fantastic.
Yes, it was intended entirely as parody. xP She released it on her website for free for her fans to lol at, but never as an actual single or anything. xP
Yeah, it was a joke. A good one too imo.

I also agree that Placebo did a very good cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill". It's still not as good as the original, though.

Also, Jeff Buckley's version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is quite possibly the best cover song EVAR!
