The Black Eyed Peas’ "My Humps" was already in on its own joke, but somehow Alanis still manages to goof on it while also making wicked fun of her own angsty-whiny self. Brava!
Any other unexpected cover-song-cover-artist combos — like, say, Jay-Z tackling "Mmmbop" — you’d like to see?

OMG…that is BRILLIANT!
I am glad to hear that Alanis has a sense of humor, but if you have seen her video for “Thank You”, she has a lot more humps than ferg-heave.
I second the Brilliant statement!
Thank you Adam (and Alanis/the BEPs)–you made my Monday! I never knew how complete I could feel after a piano-driven, ballady “My Humps”. Good times!
If I could add to Mr. Vary’s query, what are your favorite “unexpected cover-song-cover-artist combos”, fellow PopWatchers? I’m always on the lookout (I’m a big fan of KT Tunstall’s “Get Ur Freak On”).
And this is why I love this girl! The best part is the little cracking up at the end.
Hilarious….the folks who made the magic show on an earlier popwatch today could take a lesson from her in funny.
This is the *one* time I actually like Alanis. Good for her, the video is hilarious!
I love the part where she’s crying about drama…haha it’s perfect!
Ever hear Ben Folds’ cover of Dr. Dre’s “B*@ches Aint Sh#t”? Really similar to this, and really quite good.
The Gourds cover of Snoop’s Gin n Juice is really good.
So funny! Haha this was great. I loved all the voice cracks she would do in perfect Alanis fashion. When celebs make fun of themselves, I can’t help but like them. It’s why I don’t despise John Mayer.
The video is great. But the record industry in general, and
Alannis, in particular, need new material.
Try Travis’ very earnest live version of Britney Spears’ “Hit Me Baby One More Time”….pricelessly funny, because they really sing it quite seriously.

BellX-1, an Irish band (formerly the band Juniper lead by Damien Rice) does a cover of “Like I Love You” by Justin Timberlake. The arrangement is fantastic (strummed on what sound like a banjo) and almost unrecognizable at first. Similar in tone to this Alanis version of “My Humps.”
I also recommend Ted Leo’s cover of Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone.”
This was hysterical! I have always loved Alanis, but now my love for her has grown… BRILLIANT!
We’ve all seen Alanis’ “humps” a few years back in the ‘Thank You’ video. I’m still trying to erase the memory.
and I hope to see Fergie die horribly in Grindhouse.
I’ve got to recommend the version of “Baby Got Back” done by Jonathan Coulton — http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2005/10/14/thing-a-week-5-baby-got-back/ if you want to listen in. It reminds me of James Taylor or maybe Peter, Paul, and Mary….
Hilarious. I laughed so hard I snorted. It would be fun to reverse the trend noted in other posts, and have R&B/rap/pop stars cover serious angsty music. A Snoop cover of Coldplay’s “Fix You,” lightly edited to become “Fix You (Up, Ho Dog)” would be pretty awesome.
Her ultra-slow delivery of the lines to “My Humps” lets you truly revel in how ridiculous the lyrics are! How funny would it be to see an extremely morose artist with no sense of humor do something like this? Fiona Apple maybe?
Fracking GENIUS! I love Alanis even more than before!!!! I strangely want to limewire this cover of the song and put it in my ipod.
That is so good! hilarious
Where is this from??? I think this is the BEST video of the year!
Can Ozzy do ‘Fergalicious’ or is he already a parody of himself???
Maybe Willie Nelson doing ‘Walk it Out’ by Unk?

Frickin’ hilarious! I was laughing so hard when I saw this!
Hearing Alanis sing “what you gonna do with all that ass, all that ass inside those jeans” is the best thing i’ve ever heard anyone sing in the history of music. It is freaking hilarious.
I think 2007 is going to be a big year for Alanis Morissette.
This had 2,000x more bravado and humor than Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend”. Go Alanis!
that only punctuates how silly the lyrics are. HILARIOUS.
