Simple idea, genius execution: Alanis sings "My Humps"

Sometimes it's not the idea that's the most valueable thing, but the execution of the idea.

We see this all the time in the blogosphere and in the business world--folks who take very simple ideas, and with soul, talent, and vision, find a way to turn something superficial and boring into a work of art.

As I watched this video of Alanis Morissette singing the Black Eyed Peas song "My Humps", I was transfixed. To think that such a haunting performance could come from a song that has lyrics like, "What ya gonna do with all that junk inside your trunk?" An absolute genius satire/parody.

Obviously Alanis understands that real memories are created by surprises.

I know it's funny too, but no kidding, it's mesmerizing the way she sings it. What do you think?

Update: I liked this video so much that I wrote up a post over at 901am that somehow combines Seth Godin, knitting, and Alanis signing "My Humps". It's called "HowTo make a ho-hum blog more memorable: Alanis sings "My Humps".

What can I say-- I'm trying to impress my 901am editor, David Krug, with some really hard-hitting journalism. ;) Watch out Katie Couric!

Oh, and BTW, this was more "news" broken via Twitter (Thanks Andy!)

(I think I'm getting a bit loose with the term "news" these days :-).)
