Song of the Day posts one cool cover every morning. Catch up on past installments here.

“Whatever You Like” may be one of the more poorly timed hits of the last few years. Just as America entered its worst recession in decades, T.I. releases a song about how much crap he can buy his girl. The video goes a step further, featuring him looking super sincere in front of an enormous swimming pool. Ridiculous.

Needless to say, “Whatever You Like” got its share of tongue-very-far-in-cheek covers (and a great Weird Al parody). One of the best was by Joan As Police Woman, the nom-de-song of Joan Wasser, who – not-so-fun fact – was dating Jeff Buckley when he died. It’s off her best-of-2009 album Cover, which features equally hilarious looks at Britney Spears and T-Pain.
