I absolutely do not hear the Bossa Nova influence. Imitating Astrud Gilberto's icy delivery is not at all Bossa Nova. Bossa Nova is mainly a samba with jazz chords, I didn't hear the clave beat and I didn't hear any jazz chord voicings, so I can't associate it at all with Bossa Nova. Are they at least Brazilian?

This version defies description... it is quirky and strange... her vocals were kind of Chet Bakeresque and the band had a parlor vibe... sort of a "hobo band" feel to it.

I neither liked it or disliked it. I am a big fan of the original song, I definitely thought that it was very interesting though. Cool cover.
