Wicked Cover Version of Paula Abdul's "Straight Up"

Sung by a guy named Dave Werner.

Elliott Wolf (the songwriter and producer of the song) was so impressed that he even posted this clip on his website.

Check it out! I love it! razz

Paula's always been a guilty pleasure, and if I could find an MP3 of this, it would be added to my iPod before you could say "A b-b-b-bye, b-b-b-bye"

shrug It's fine. I love the original and this is okay. It's just like the little boy next door learned how to strum it on his guitar.

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. My favorite part -- well, besides the random hop near the end -- is the way he sang the "oh, oh, oh" part. He really made it singer/songwriter-y. lol
