Just sang on the show with on comedy central....for the life of me I can't remember who he is. And he looks like heroin has done him well.

Kinda sad that Jack Black's voice was 10x more suited to that song than his.

It is worth it to steal a few versions of Sweet Jane from you favorite file share program.
The original is Lou Reed.
Good covers are by
Cowboy Junkies
Phish
Mott the Hoople
U2
note the version out there preported to be RadioHead I believe is actually Lou reed and Not Radiohead.

"Sweet Jane"
Lou Reed
Velvet Underground
Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand,
Jack is in his corset, and Jane is in her vest, and, me,
I'm in a rock'n'roll band. Huh!
Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim
Y'know, those were different times!
Oh, all the poet, they studied rules of verse,
And the ladies, they rolled their eyes.
Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
I'll tell you something,
Jack, he is a banker,
And Jane, she is a clerk.
Both of them save their monies, ha,
And when, when they come home from work!
Ooh! Sittin' down by the fire, oh!
The radio does play,
The classical music there, Jim.
"The March of the Wooden Soldiers".
All you protest kids.
You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah,
Sweet Jane! Come on baby! Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
Some people, they like to go out dancing,
And other peoples, they have to work. Just watch me now!
And there's even some evil mothers,
Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt.
Y'know that, women, never really faint,
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush!
And that, life is, just to die!
And, everyone who ever had a heart, oh,
That wouldn't turn around and break it.
And anyone who ever played a part, whoa,
And wouldn't turn around and hate it!
Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane. Sweet Jane.
Sweet Jane. Sweet Jane.

Lou Reed's voice is an acquired taste.. I'm not a major fan but saying that Jack Blacks voice is "better" than his is like saying Mariah Carey's voice is better than Bob Dylans.. In other words, you're missing the point..
