Reasons to be glad you're not me, #47591
I have a somewhat curious musical imagination. By this I mean that I'll find myself thinking of a song for whatever reason, and I will quite often find myself imagining it in a different key to the actual recording of it. I have no idea why this is, but it is. Mercifully rarer are the times when I imagine a song being sung in a totally different voice. I say merciful cos the voice tends to be horribly wrong when it happens. Consider "Your Woman" by White Town:

Got that? Good. Now try imagining the song being sung by Donald Duck. Cos that's the horror I've lived with now for over a decade any time "Your Woman" has popped into my head. I am unable to stop myself from imagining Donald Duck from singing this song (with any luck I now won't be the only one).
It gets worse, though! Of late I'm finding myself thinking of "Bulletproof" by La Roux a lot:

This is inherently problematic cos I don't like the song anyway, but this time I'm not imagining the song being sung by someone other than Elly Jackson; I'm imagining her singing words from another song entirely:
Call me picky, but the image of Elly Jackson stripped down to her underwear is one that I frankly do not find appealing. (Imagine: what if she styles her pubic hair that way?) I was just a bit creeped out by Donald covering Jyoti, but this is a new level of disturbing for me. No wonder I fear my brain at times.
