Morissette leads the way in Merry Musical Mayhem

American Idol will be on tonight,with Tony Bennet as their guest mentor. For those of you eagerly awaiting some more Sanjaya singing insanity,here's a few funny tunes from people who can actually sing and are sure fire knee slappers:

ALANIS MORISSETTE SHOWS US HER LOVELY LADY LUMPS

While the ceremony is pretty low tech,it has become a tradition to introduce the Best Feature nominees with song. Here,for your viewing pleasure is Minnie Driver's tribute to Pan's Labyrinth(the song has a good number of spoilers if you haven't seen the movie but not too many to really ruin it for you,in my opinion.):
