art, but not as we know it

So Banksy the urban artist made a copy of Paris Hilton's album, featuring a new cover and a different recording. The modification comprised a remix of Paris Hilton saying (mainly shopping) quotes to a synth backing track that sounds as if its been made on Reason.

So, was the original really popular music? and is the reconstruction a legitimate piece of art?

Undecided?

Here is the banky replacement track (chopped from 40 minutes down to a mere 16) and here is the replacement coverart which Banksy substituted.
