one of them sounds like he was held back quite a few years. Either that or he is a very mature kid.

Modest Mouse's "Float On" or the Floaters' "Float On"? Let me pretend for a moment that it's the latter.

I love in the commercial for the original, when an awkward 10 year old slam dunks on a plastic basketball hoop that is actually shorter than he is and says "Kidz bop gets me PUMPED UP."

Who are the Kidz Bop adults?

this is really artistically superior to the original. listen to the distant wailing distorto-guitars at 1:18 and the lonley kid-a blooping at 2:30! can you say 'emotional gravitas', kids? ! plus getting a number of children to sound resigned about their collective future always works (hello langley schools, hello kanye's "they don't know").

resoundingly

"Yea!"

a good cap to the WTFness of this song being popular in the first place, but not too revealing beyond the first listen or so.
