Last night, we went to dinner at Tandoor Indian Grill for
When I got home, I wrestled with the smoke alarm and changed its battery. Then, all I wanted to do was sprawl on the couch… and I did. I was so tired that I started nodding off watching Jonny Quest. I made it through Letterman’s monologue, but decided that I needed sleep more than I needed entertainment; I was in bed before 2300.
I slept much better last night than Sunday night… but I had a series of odd dreams. Nothing horribly “disturbing,” but they were unusual combinations.
The Best: Crazy
Seal vs. Alanis Morrisette
For the past week or so, I’ve been trying to recall who did the cover of Seal’s Crazy that had been at the edges of my memory. I was fairly certain that it was Alanis Morrisette, but I wasn’t positive. Yesterday, I finally remembered to look it up… and it was, in fact, Ms. Morrisette. With that, I checked out the music video for her version. Not bad. Then, I checked out the Seal version. Again, not bad.
Seal:
Alanis:
The Verdict: This one comes down to a draw for me, with a possible edge going to Seal. While the Alanis version is good, it might have been more interesting to hear what she might have done had she put more of her own spin on it.

Like the link to the Morissette version, I’d not heard it before. It’s clearly the same song with little to mix it up other than her voice…but it’s cool to hear her sing it.
I think the Seal album (where this song is found) is under-rated. I enjoy it very much.

I don’t know why this just popped into my head, but:
Alanis Morrisette dated Dave Coulier, who only rates as the second best part of Full House.
Seal married Heidi Klum, despite the fact that he looks like Seal.
Advantage: Seal.
