They are the eggmen, we are the victims — Anthony M found this and we trembled in fear/laughed uproariously in untrammelled glee/both (choose as appropriate): a modern day version of Styx covering “I Am the Walrus”. It’s not t[…]

And now “We Are the World” part two! — oh good god:
Jermaine Dupri has been called on to produce an updated version of one of the (if not the) most legendary collaborations of all time, “We Are the World.”
