There's an original version of The Italian Job? Gotta see that.

I like the notion of putting the performers' feet to the fire by making them sing stuff that is clearly not their usual forte. Those that manage to make it sound good, or lend it something of themselves, are bound to have a better shot at success. Any fool can do a cover version of someone else's song, but a performer who can bring something new and interesting to that is a force to be reckoned with.
