Ok so I'm at work late, searching around for random things, and I find a site called dictionaraoke.org. Here's the genereal idea behind it: The project was conceived of by a diverse group of experimental musicians communicating through the Internet. Inspired by the recent addition of spoken word audio clips to the Merriam-Webster and Microsoft Encarta online dictionaries demonstrating the correct pronunciation of each word, these artists have used the samples to create artificial vocals that "sing" karaoke.
So, I checked the list of songs to see what was there, and sure enough... "How Soon Is Now?" was re-created. The site is horribly slow, so if you have trouble getting it from there, I have mirrored the MP3 here. It's essentially a MIDI recreation of the music, with the spoken dictionary words. Apparently some of the words weren't spoken, so there were replacements used... which are pretty funny.
