You mean the one they "advertise" here...

...with an mp3 download of said "original version"?


The one where they list the culprits:
Vocals - Shek Baker
Trumpet - Kurt Stockdale
Music - Chris Messick
Concept & Art - Stephen Levinson



...That "original version" which sounds nothing like Louis Armstrong (vocally or instrumentally)?

Off the top of my head:

I'll Be Your Mirror - The Primitives (The Velvet Underground)
Helter Skelter - Siouxsie And The Banshees (The Beatles)
Dear Prudence - Siouxsie And The Banshees (The Beatles)
A Case Of You - Tori Amos (Joni Mitchell)
If 6 Was 9 - Tori Amos (Hendrix)
1983 - Christian Death (Hendrix)
When The Levee Breaks - Rosetta Stone (Zeppelin)

I'm sure I can think of hundreds more.


Actually Led Zeppelin's version isn's the original of when the levee breaks, although their arrangement is radically different from the original. The original is an old blues song by Memphis Minnie

Edit: whoops, minneapolisgenius already pointed that out
