Is that supposed to be an insult?

When did Anya sing HER little guts out in the underground to the terrified displaced during the Nazi blitz of London during WWII?

Oops, to raise the spirits...^^^^

Are there any non-Pet versions anyone can recommend? I recently heard Sinatra’s for the first time, &, with his trademark “Jack” thrown in, it was an abomination.

It makes no sense to sing that song “downtempo.”

I actually enjoyed this. It isn't hideous.

I fucking detest this kind vocal stylization. It's the breathy half-singing, & warbling that put me off. It's quite popular now, and it all sucks ass (and not in a good way). Eyelash does the same thing.

Here's another example using a cover from the Canadian band Reuben and the Dark, featured in a current Royal Caribbean commercial.
