The World's Greatest by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy


Really like the way this setting transforms this #R-Kelly song into classic folk. When set against the finger-picked acoustic guitar, soft female backing vocals, and rich organ, even R. Kelly's bragadocious lyrics start to sound like Pete Seeger: all the "I am"s suddenly expressing a sense of oneness with the world rather than pride at its conquering. Thanks Andy for pointing this one out: http://newspeedwayboogie.tumblr.com/post/32722355
