Damn I really don't like that song in the first place, but that was horrible. Modest Mouse is one of thoose few bands that I wish had never become popular, if only so that I wouldn't have to see their music degraded like this

You do know that it was covered on Kidz Bop a year or so ago, too? Dontchya?
I was looking for a d/l of that version, but to no avail (to the relief of many of you, I'm sure).

the kid bopz verison is kinda funny, I think it would be funny to hear a kid bopz version of earlier songs like polar opposites or dramamine

np: Hüsker Dü - "Never Talking To You Again"

Now THAT would be a funny Kidz Bop selection!

I'm glad I can sing "Float On" on karaoke, though. Can't wait for "Dashboard" to drop.

Modest Idol should be the new show for indie acts.

unless their label has the control over the IP... but it's hard to imagine that this could be done without their approval.
