The Bowling for Soup cover is the worst cover of a song I have ever heard. Not because it’s bad, but because it takes the original song and does absolutely nothing with it. The first time someone put it on near me it took me a full 30 seconds of confusion to realize that the song sounded wrong because the singer was different.
A good cover involves an artist taking a work from another artist and making it their own, with a different tone, pace, etc. The Bowling for Soup version does none of that.
Is this about a particular song?

My goodness. I’d never seen that before. Stacey’s mom really DOES have it going on.

Fuck me everyone in that video looks super young. The kids doubly so.
I feel very old.

That’s how I felt about Weezer’s cover of Africa
