Hope You're Having A Nice Time In Jamaica by Jerkatorium

I'm embarassed by how much I like Jerkatorium's winning submission for Hope You're Having a Nice Time in Jamaica. It's quite amateur, complete with painful delivery of some of the lyrics and not-so-pristine mastering, but he does it in such a way that casts a charm over me.
