In Which the Eternal Question of “What Would It Sound Like If Morrissey’s ‘Every Day Is Like Sunday’ Was Covered as Dark Ambient With a Cookie Monster Singer?” Is Answered

It would sound like this.
And now you know.
Yes, that’s me.
Edited to add: Also, to be clear, I never suggested it was good. Fun to make, though.
Huh. I don’t think that’s what people usually mean by “Cookie Monster vocals“.
Just for comparison, here’s Rammstein vs. Cookie Monster:
Dear John, Don’t stop writing ! 😉
Cecil! Encore!
Hmmm… background music completely drowned out the vocal on my speakers, so I can’t give an informed opinion on this tune. I cranked it up and barely heard something… singing?
It did wake up and annoy my cat, which I’m sure you’re pleased about.

My work here is done.
Yeah, I would have enjoyed it more if I could actually make out the words..
LOL, are you bored John ? Now, how about narrating a special edition audiobook of Old Man’s War with that voice :)?
Cookie Monster vocals are challenging to decipher most of the time. Note that “cookie monster” vocals do not mean actually sung by the Cookie Monster (who is, for the most part, understandable), but a certain variety of very low, very growly singing.
See, now I want to hear “Every Day is Like Sunday” sung by ACTUAL Cookie Monster.
This isn’t new, but might be new to some:
Tom Waits/Cookie Monster mashup – God’s Away On Business
Okay, maybe I am now a little worried about what you are putting in your burritos.
Of course I would never come into your home and tell you your entertainment was truly awful. I must be going now.
Cookies and nukes. Together at last.
Weird. Most people hit their goth phase around 13…
Congratulations, you’ve invented a new genre that captures the national mood… Ambient Trump.
I actually super enjoyed this.
And this is why the internet exists.
Also, I now really want to see Cookie Monster sing Tom Waits’s “Cemetery Polka”…
