By the end of this I couldnt help but squirt a bottle of hand sanitizer in both my eyes and ears. It hurts, but that could just be the residual effects of this vid in my brain. Can't tell yet.

This is despite the presence of Pam Anderson, and Barry Manilow's awesome transformation into KD Lang.

They are NOT.

Macy Gray was born in Ohio. Finding out things like that is kinda why they invented google. Joss Stone is a Brit, though.

I bet this video does wonders with the VH1 crowd. ugh.
