That is good!

You really should give credit where it’s due tho, by using Nick Harrison’s name in the post title, instead of “Someone”?

I believe the original mashup is by DJ Cummerbund.

I love oddball mashups like this.

I’ll be totally honest: for whatever reason, “someone” tends to perform better as a headline than a name that’s not already a household name.

But otherwise, you are right. I try to balance it by including the credits in the article. I’m willing to change my mind on that practice though.

I’m a fan of this B-52ish cover of Jim Caroll’s “People Who Died” by the band Boink

Compromise position: “Someone named Nick Harrison…”.

Yeah, the TikToker even highlights the source. It’s weird that the TikToker is getting the credit for the mashup, and it’s almost like his staging/framing of his reaction videos is meant to cause that confusion.

I like the song… and the cover is decent. I just feel like this is a song that shouldn’t be covered. I mean it’s specifically personal to the writer. It’s just feels weird to me to hear it from people who I imagine didn’t know any of these folks…

Well you do have a point. I’ll just note that at the end, they changed the lyric to “They were all Jim’s friends. And they died.” As to why they edited out Tony, I have no idea.

That’s a fair criticism. Although Against Me! covered it for a compilation a while back, and I think they did a great job — but maybe that’s because I know that Laura Jane Grace has seen some real tragedy, even if it wasn’t these specific people.

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but you’ve broken any number of international laws by not posting a full-length version of this. Rectify the situation immediately.

That’s not the same mix as it doesn’t feature Dragula, only Toxic and Love Shack.

I can’t think of a song more deserving of this excellent cover.
