Revising The Classic Song Titles?

Don't know if any of you have seen this in emails, but I got this today & I doubled over laughing so hard! (though they'll only be funny if you know the original titles):

Some Artists of the 60s Are Revising Their Hits w/ Baby Boomers

Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Walker (Herman's Hermits)

I Can't See Clearly (Johnny Nash)

Splish, Splash, I Was Havin' a Flash (Bobby Darin)
