Beatles Covers: Hey Jude

Mutato Muzika Orchestra: Hey Jude

[purchase]

Among the most surprising developments of the last 20 years to any child of the early 80's who fancied himself a post-punker is the ascendancy of Danny Elfman and Mark Mothersbaugh as two of the preeminent film and television composers in the world.

They both deserve their status though. From the excellent The Royal Tanenbaums soundtrack, this is Mothersbaugh's arrangement of Hey Jude. It's an instrumental, and it doesn't deviate much at all from the original, but I still think it's really cool.
