Not really a cover, but there's a classic tune sampled in there, so imo it qualifies :rolleyes:

Bit too close to the original but it surpasses it imo.

Think thats the point. Alot of their stuff is very tongue in cheek. With lyrics like 'Your not invited to my birthday party' and 'This is the worst vacation ever, I'm going to cut open your forehead with a roofing shingle'.

I still stand by this being better than the original though.
