ODB's "Sussudio" PWNS all. I've heard it multiple times and only recently did I notice the Zapp-style "Phil Collins" at the beginning.

What the fuck is the Postal Service doing? (Besides finding ways to increase my feelings towards them from indifference to annoyance.)

it's missing that truly awful (imho) Steve Brookstein cover of "Against All Odds".

Phil Collins is like the white-est white dude ever, and yet my black customers at the record store where I work in Philadelphia have adopted him as their own. (Michael McDonald, another whitey mcwhite, at least logically makes sense). I have actually heard Phil Collins and "jawn" used in sentence. And Blue Oyster Cult!

godheadSilo - In the Air Tonight

I have a tape with a West African band doing a cover of In the Air Tonight in their native language. I taped it off the anarchist radio station in Paris.. Googling around, it may be the Senegalese group Touré Kunda, so maybe it's in Wolof. Really good, actually, worth looking for on Slsk.
