They fucking nailed it with this one. Made it their own while retaining the recognizable melodies of the original. Too many bands lean too far one way or the other, but they found a perfect balance.

They really did. Even if it was an original it would have perfectly blended on the album as one of their own, but you can show it to anyone and its instantly recognizable.

Well it is a mimic/parody of generally terrible 2000s pop music videos

I get that, I just don’t think it’s well done.

Hard disagree. The video is perfect for the song. It's clearly a parody and playing into the hyper sexualized videos of the 2000s.

This is one of my favorite covers ever. It's just some good time fun. I've shown it to people who hate any harsh vocals and have gotten positive responses. It was such executed so perfectly.

It’s a bit dangerously close to “Post Hardcore Goes Buttrock” for me…
