Hot In Herre by Jenny Owens Young
originally by Nelly (watch)
(submitted by sadwich)

This seems like an unlikely and odd cover, but I think it was pulled off pretty well. Much like Dynamite Hack’s Boyz In the Hood. I wonder how many people out there don’t realize Young is covering a hip-hop club jam here…
I also wonder Young’s motivation for covering this and what the genesis was of the video concept. The icy caves and silly costumes seem to be a conscious attempt to further distance itself from Nelly.
