and you hoped to carve a career out for yourself as a serious artist...

Would you

a) Release it under an alias?

b) Get someone else to cover it and see if you could help them get a number one in a way that would get the song out there but not be detrimental to your career?

c) Think "fuck it" and release it under your own name?

d) Not bother with it all and focus on your other songs instead?
