German crooner's megaphone-style covers of modern rock

Charles sez, "Max Raabe is a German crooner, who has been making a name for himself and his band over the last couple years doing hilarious cover versions of pop songs Roaring 20's style. If you ever wondered what 'Oops I Did It Again' would sound like if sung by Fred Astaire then this is for you." It's all true -- this is great music. Alas, the site is craptacular Flash that repeatedly crashed Firefox, and if there's a downloadable MP3 sample or two on that site, I couldn't find it before it killed my browser. But this guy's music is right up my alley. Link (Thanks, Charles!)

Update: Me sez, "Amazon.de has sound clips here." Alas, they're Realmedia clips and the vile and useless OS X Real client throws an error when I try to play them.

Update 2: Charles sez, "I just googled some quality full-length mp3s." 1, 2, 3

Update 3 Mickey sez, "here's the link to another MP3, Around the World"
