MUSIC VIDEO SHOWCASE: JENNY OWEN YOUNGS' "HOT IN HERRE" AND ALANIS MORISSETTE'S "MY HUMPS"

What's funnier: A white indie girl turning a mainstream hiphop song by Nelly into a low-key indie song, or... a white mainstream pop girl turning a mainstream hiphop song by Fergie into a piano-led sad ballad?

This reminded me, in a big way, of Alanis Morissette's amusing stunt for last year's April Fools Day, parodying Fergie's "My Humps" without changing a word of it by turning it into a sad piano piece and showcasing the lyrics - which are, of course, absolutely terrible. The following video, 'Alanis-izing' the original, never ever gets old:
