Well, well, Mr. Pop Culture has corrected my earlier "Cat Stevens" post, by submitting this comment:
When did Cat Stevens do a Harry Chapin song? I've only ever heard him or Ugly Kid Joe do it.
Of course, I need to make sure, and found this on wikipedia:
Many people mistakenly believe the song to be the work of artist Cat Stevens, and a mis-titled MP3 version is widely circulated on the internet. Jack Black contributed to this confusion, playing part of the song in a Saturday Night Live sketch where Black's character claimed the song was by Yusuf Islam, a.k.a. Cat Stevens. There are no known, verifiable recordings of Cat Stevens performing the song however, and a Cat Stevens fan web site assures readers that Stevens has never performed the song, "not live, not in the studio, and not even privately.
I hate it when I'm wrong!!! It sounds like Cat Stevens, I swear!

But hey, at least you cleared it up for everyone!!
