Since no one took up my challenge, I've given it a try myself:
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me
Dont cha, dont cha
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me
Dont cha, dont cha
It's a little rough in places, but what do you think? Any commercial potential?
Mmm. Maybe, maybe. To the tune of 'My Old Man's a Dustman' perhaps?

Did she have more than just a slight nose job? I know she blamed it on her vocal problems later, but I thought that was simply because she overdid the performing.
She looks very pretty in her earlier photos which might have been from before her surgery.

Well, I don't want to know. She's artificial. Anna N. is naturally beautiful, period.

Well, because the name of this thread is "What have you been listening to lately" and not Anna vs Anna:

But many opera lyrics don't make sense either so those lyrics are fine

I got that when I was in my 'buy anything with Sherrill Milnes' phase. Love it.
