Remember when that one guy covered Rebecca Black's Friday with this formula? I feel like that was the inevitable endpoint of that kind of cover. Arguably the existence of any version of "Hallelujah" was the start

Alanis Morissette did this with her cover of "My Humps"

arthur i literally still think about this at least once per week and it makes me furious all those thinkpieces where white dudebro writers suddenly discovered she was actually a good lyricist once a MAN sang her songs

See that could have been a great moment though! "Look how different this piece of art seems when done by a Serious White Dude! Maybe that should cause me to reconsider my dismissal of it and similar art!"
