I have just seem this parody of Dirty Laundry and thought it was a brilliant parody! Though obviously not a patch on Don's voice

Does anybody have an idea what to search for on youttube to find that 'legendary' video the news people of various TV news shows made to the song?

I also found a live version by, of all people, Lisa Marie Presley. Is that really the same person that was married to MJ? She wasn't really GREAT with her version, but it sure had some grit to it.

I've looked and can't find it so perhaps it's just not there anymore.

Henley really dislikes Lisa Marie Presley's version of the song.  He rarely says anything about covers, but he has mentioned that one.  Personally I don't think it's that bad.

She is not the world's greatest singer for sure, and the part directly after the break at about 2mins.40 just plain sucks. But most of the song itself is OK, as long as you don't compare her vocal abilities to Don's. The video to the studio version is one of those cheap 'sex sells' shots.

I prefer her live version anyway, cause at least she DOES sing live (Did you hear that, Ms. Spears? Women are allowed to sing live!).

She overdoes the posing a bit, too - but I guess it's tough to go on a stage with 'Presley' as your last name. Without that name she wouldn't make it onto TV, but she could front a cover band playing clubs and bars, like many others, too.
