Her voice sounds like the cry of a shy hamster in whose rectum a hot poker has just been inserted.

The New Zealand-based performer's squeaky, ear-shredding rendition of "Dancing Queen" (Link: MP3) was featured in a South Park episode last week. I really need to get out on the internet more often, I don't know how I missed this -- Jesus, I just figured they'd made the character up.

Update: %20 says:

I did a cut up of Wing's "My Favorite Things" following Negativland's infamous version. Link to MP3, and try this folder if the direct link doesn't work.
