It's been ages of sets since we've last seen these guys on my list. Now they come back impressively at the sixth spot with a very bubbly charity single. I guess majority of the people here dislikes this song for its repetitive lyrics and nonsensical nature, but I don't care. It's one damn good guilty pleasure. Three points why I love this cover: (1) they seem to have fun recording it, (2) the random video truly worked, it's enjoying to watch, (3) it's for a cause and purpose. And I'm happy Louis is starting to get some solo parts.
