This is your moment of "the fuck?" for today:
A 15-year-old popsinger/Nickelodeon mouthpiece named Emma Roberts covered Jill Sobule's "Mexican Wrestler" on her new album. First of all, that's a random Jill Sobule song to pick. Second of all, the lyrical changes are RETARDED.

Jill: Sometimes I wish that I were a beauty
a beautiful girl who was still 21
and I'd turn your head as well as your buddy's
and I could afford to play hard to get
we'd go to parties
and you'd show me off
and I'd go home with someone else

Emma: Sometimes I wish that I were a beauty
A beautiful girl, the popular one
And I'd turn your head, and your friends would love me
and I could afford to play hard to get
we'd go to parties
and you'd show me off
And I'd go out with your best friend

Wow, way to turn a really poignant song into OMG TEENAGE DRAMA. Also? Her voice? IS THAT OF A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL. 15 year old girls do not sound convincing singing the line "you're just the cross I bear." Especially pampered nieces of Julia Roberts with their own Nickelodeon teevee show.

That is all.
