THE B-SIDE IS THE MICRONAUTS SINGING ACE OF BASE'S ALL THAT SHE WANTS: If you are a little bit younger than me, you probably liked poorly-drawn gay icon He-Man. If you have a little bit worse taste than me, you probably liked 4 Non-Blondes, whose chief positive attribute was the descriptive accuracy of their name. That said, I am exactly the right age and have exactly the right taste to enjoy He-Man covering a 4 Non-Blondes song. Note that He Man is technically One Blonde, or at least One Blonde with Menagerie.

Side note: why are there any musicians anywhere who think it's a good idea to cover Led Zeppelin songs with a straight face? 4 Non-Blondes' Misty Mountain Hop is terrible, though not quite as bad as spastic Puffy shouting gibberish over a full orchestra playing Kashmir.
