Could this song become the next “Umbrella” or “Crazy” with regard to a flood of great cover versions? I hate to admit that thanks to these covers, it’s starting to grow on me just a little bit.
Thanks to Steven from MajorSpoilers for this version:
And thanks to John for this one:
I just got back from The Rock Boat and covering this was popular for some of the bands and jam sessions. With so many varied bands and music fans converging on TRB it's not unreasonable to grab onto a common touchstone, even if that touchstone is a mainstream pop tune and the very antithesis of the indie rock spirit that imbues the Boat. It seems like this happens every year on TRB (last year's zeitgeist song was "Single Ladies"). Anyway, here's a version from Green River Ordinance… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w83gQUcMXSE
Great stuff
I have a 5 year old daughter going on 15, so I'm getting accustomed to HSM and Miley etc!
I REFUSE to like this song, I hate miley cyrus because she's as fabricated as her dad. She has no soul to her music, and I guarantee she didn't even write this song (which is repetitive). At least Rhianna has some talent.
"Could this song become the next “Umbrella” or “Crazy” with regard to a flood of great cover versions?"
God, I hope not.
Seriously, it doesn't seem like there's any there there, if you get my drift. At least Umbrella and Crazy had great hooks.
I'll back again for sure, thanks for great article
