"If Reggie Watts can be counted on for anything, it’s taking a different approach. The comedian/musician or musician/comedian—let’s just say “ performer”—doesn’t do traditional stand-up comedy, so we knew that, when he came in to perform Van Halen’s “Panama,” we wouldn’t get an especially faithful version of it. The question was just how far afield he’d travel in our little round room. He didn’t disappoint: In Watts’ hands, “Panama” is actually an ode to the Central American country, helpfully dispelling some myths and explaining how its namesake canal works. He tells us his version comes from early demos of the song Van Halen recorded, and who can argue? The chorus is basically the same."

I really feel like buying you a sharp knife so you can skin him alive.

[lesfunk]

a perfect example of what happens when an artist gets so much smoke blown up his ass that he starts believing the bullshit himself. This is why crap like gets "created"

Bullshit. There are no 'early demos' of Panama.. if I'm wrong, please point me to them.

Well, it's still better than Hagar's version

He IS a comedian, you realize that right? Not that it was really that interesting, entertaining or funny.

They can't all be gems.
