Is this about a particular song?
Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne
Edit: music video
My goodness. I'd never seen that before. Stacey's mom really DOES have it going on.
Kiwi supermodel Rachel Hunter
Fuck me everyone in that video looks super young. The kids doubly so.
I feel very old.
Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne (or Bowling for Soup)
🎵Stacy's mom has got it going on!🎵
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.
That's how I felt about Weezer's cover of Africa
