It has the feel of a pop-punk band’s frontman doing a solo song to kick off the encore.įrom there on, numerous got covers got released (“released” mostly meaning “uploaded to YouTube”) every day, so we’ll just look at some highlights. Maybe a backing track he recorded himself? A solid job regardless. He’s playing along with something, but it’s not the original track.
But, best I could figure, YouTuber Peter Bakker delivered the first proper cover, uploaded a couple days after the original came out. Oh, and don’t forget the reaction videos. New songs by major artists sometimes get covered by YouTubers within hours of their release, so before we get into the best, I endeavored to find the first cover of “Sunflower.” This was a little tricky a lot of the uploads called “cover” are really someone drumming along to the track or giving a lesson on how to play it on ukulele or whatever. (And let’s not forget Posty himself knows his way around a cover I saw multiple people call his Nirvana set one of the best livestreams of 2020.) “Sunflower” didn’t quite hit “Circles”-level covers ubiquity, maybe because it sounds pretty hard to sing, but it’s been tackled plenty (once by a very prominent band). In fact, we had a bluegrass version of “Circles” on our year-end list two months ago. It was filmed at Zabar's on the Upper West Side, Manhattan and features a cameo appearance from comedian Jerry Seinfeld.Ĭredits adapted from Father of the Bride's liner notes.Last time the “Covering the Hits” dice-roll landed me one of the earliest chart-toppers ever – Ernie K-Doe’s sassy New Orleans classic “Mother in Law” – and today it lands me one of the most recent: Post Malone and Swae Lee’s contribution to that animated Spider Man movie, “Sunflower,” which went to number in 2019. This was Hill's second music video after directing the video for Danny Brown's "Ain't It Funny" in 2017. It was directed by Jonah Hill, who had previously appeared in the video for Harmony Hall. Upon release, Will Hermes of Rolling Stone called Sunflower, "Perhaps the best, and certainly the most weirdly-grooving of the four tracks Vampire Weekend have trickled out in advance of their forthcoming Father of the Bride LP".Ī music video for the song was released on March 13, 2019. It’s kind of like Stevie Wonder’s "Sir Duke" by way of Guster." Of the song's composition, Michelle Kim of Pitchfork stated, "Koenig’s love for the Dead and Phish is obvious in the proggy bass scales that open the track, the frantically curling guitar licks, and even… the harmonized scatting that’s done in unison with the instruments. The track has been characterised as psych-soul, jam rock and jazz-funk.
