OK, so this has been around for a while, I think I "missed the meme" when it was being splatted round everybody, but I'm posting it here simply because it's so cool.
Natalie Umberalla's Torn done in "sign" language.
Well funny.
The person doing it is David Armand from The Hollow Men.

Why "The Real Teardrop" well that goes back to my first venture on to the internet. I was listening to a new album by Grant Lee Buffalo called Fuzzy and I needed a handle so I adopted the name Teardrop from the male character in the song Jupiter And Teardop. It was suitable annonymous in the chatrooms and it kind of stuck.

I feel I have to add a comment here.
Natalie Imbruglia not only covered this song, if anything, stole it and had a massive hit with it.
Before she ripped it of, it was covered by Trine Rein (Norway) and Lis Sorensen (Holland) and was a fairly big hit for both in Europe.
For those who are interested, the originally was by a band called Ednaswap from L.A. (USA).

in particular, look at the articles section, there are various stories related to the song.
Good to see you (almost) did youre homework.
Lis Sorensen is from Denmark and was the first to record Torn in 1993, two years before Ednaswap recorded Torn themselves.

Ok, so I got the Holland/Denmark bit wrong, but I did do my homework.
The song Torn was written by Anne Preven, singer in Ednaswap. She was never happy with the song and it went through a number of versions before finally being released. In the meantime, it was picked up by various artists/record companys and released by Lis Sorenson, Trine Rein and Natalie Imbruglia.
Yes, Lis Sorenson had the first "official" release, but the song was originally recorded by Ednaswap.
