Aimee Mann has a new single out. That alone should be enough to convince some of you to watch this music video. She's an amazing singer/songwriter still producing great work over 20 years after her solo debut (which, itself, happened after years of success as the lead singer of 'Til Tuesday). The novelty here is that Aimee Mann has collaborated with Stephen Levinson, Rob Kutner, and Joel Moss Levinson to write a novelty song for a charity comedy album. "I'm Cured" is a love song from the perspective of the Common Cold. The Common Cold doesn't make you sick out of malice; it acts out of love. Aimee Mann imagines a scenario where a researcher finally finds the cure for the Common Cold, which puts Common Cold on notice that it's no longer welcome in the relationship. The whole thing is silly, catchy, and worth a watch.
Proceeds from the sale of "I'm Cured" and the upcoming comedy album 2776 will go to OneKid OneWorld, an international charity organization providing educational supplies and resources (like books, physical schools, and salaries for teachers) to children around the world.
