"Hot in Herre" by Jenny Owen Youngs








From the opening line of "I was likegood gracious, ass is bodacious," Montclair, New Jersey singer/songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs' coffee house acoustic version of Nelly's "Hot in Herre" is absolute genius.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that "Hot in Herre" was written about the interior of a 2016 Honda Odyssey in the Florida spring.

The sun was already set, and it was about 93 degrees in that jawn.

"Dilemma" by Sigma

 


Leeds drum and bass duo Sigma (with the help of Kate Stewart) take Nelly's hit club track and, somehow, make it sound like a commercial for Tahitian Treat soda.

The twosome were fortunate that Sigma was the Greek letter that they chose for their band moniker.  If they had called themselves "Omicron," somebody would have burned down their house by now.
