February 14, 2010 We Are the Robots
That's what they should have named this travesty of a cover (music begins about 1:05.)
Don't feel bad if you can't make it all the way to the end; I had to turn it off after the offensively didactic rap section ("someone to help you rebuild / after the rubble's gone".)
After you're finished laughing, take a few minutes to watch the original, below:
We have American Idol to thank for this mess. I'm proud to say I hardly recognized any of the faces in the new version, but I can name almost everyone in the original recording (here's a cheat sheet,) which was made with about a hundred times more talent.
GRRRR! Can we just pretend the remake never happened?!
