Just when you thought the Scissor Sisters massacre of Comfortably Numb would never be beaten, step forward that Glee cover of Don't Stop Believin'

Anything Guns'n'roses covered.

And Comfortably Numb was great. It's obvious that the Scissors shared my opinion of Roger Water's famously miserable double epic which should surely have been titled: "Music to Slit Your Wrists To".

I wish I'd thought of doing comfortably numb like that.

The thing about American Pie is it was an icon, a product of it,s age, a feeling of the times. It meant things to people.

Then, Madonna, a popular artist, she comes along and murders it. :(
