    Was that Louis Armstrong or Fozzy Bear singing that? I couldn't really tell.

    I'm not a big intellectual property proponent, but if ms. spears is getting paid for that song and the armstrong children aren't, i'll be pretty dissapointed.

    Starring the first incarnation of The Village People.

    I was suckered right up to the Lindberg baby bit.

    An April Fool's joke on January 1st? I'd have taken those extra 3 months to get a halfway decent Louis Armstrong impersonator.
