To take a Beatles' song and have someone else sing them, is almost sacreligious to some people.
To those people I say, "Lighten up."
The songs on this CD are sung by people that you wouldn't expect to have on a Beatles ' tribute album. (Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Goldie Hawn, John Williams) That's a good thing, really, when you think that George Martin could've taken "Today's Superstars" and had them mess up the Beatles.
My favorite cut on this album is "In My Life" which is spoken by Sean Connery in a way that only Sean Connery could do. It is an amazing interpretation, that, incidentally, I want played at my funeral.

I love this album! From Jim Carrey's inspired insanity to John Williams's totally soothing guitar to Jeff Beck's incredible version of "A Day In The Life" (who knew there was so much more meaning in that song? I mean, meaning, sure, it's got plenty, but Beck finds a whole new level) - the whole thing is brilliant.
