While listening to my MP3 player as I cut the lawn today, I suddenly heard a version of "Summer Wind," the performer of which I couldn't determine.  (On the one hand, that's not surprising because I have many versions of "Summer Wind" by other singers, but, on the other, it seemed odd because why would I put any of those on my player?)  Puzzled, I checked, and, very much to my surprise, I discovered it was SINATRA'S version. 
Wow, how'd I not recognize Frank?!
Then it dawned on me: all the "Frankensingers" sound like Sinatra only when you're listening to him through the noise of a running lawnmower engine.  All the nuance, subtlety, and distinctiveness get washed out, and, there you have it, it's Frank no more...it's _______________________ (fill in your favorite Michael-Buble-like performer).
