    How could someone cover an already great song? Well, covers don't have to be better, they could be just as good, different good!

    I’m getting all the downvotes for this, but imagining all your “WTH is this” expressions as you are listening to this is totally worth it!

    I originally had Smooth Criminal by Alien Antfarm. Then I randomly turned on the next episode of Gen V and this song opened the episode. That's it! I thought. And here we are. Did you like it?

    A different take on the Ghost song, which I considered submitting for the last round, hahaha....

    This is a popular song to perform as a stripped down acoustic cover. This is the first such version I remember hearing on the radio, and it kind of blew everybody's mind how dark the song was. Scrubs did a similar version and used it totally inappropriately...

    I considered a lot of more unique genre covers. Out of all the funk covers to choose, why this one? Original is a familiar 80s song. It's fine, but the cover is definitely better in my opinion. Many of the other songs I can't say theyre actually better than the original, so...

    This version really captures the euphoric sense of falling in love.

    Zach also mentioned a cover of this song. Let's see if he followed through. This was the song I was thinking of when coming up with this category tho. So I hope you all enjoyed!
