      Is there a source that isn't the Fail?

        The other sources I've found are The Express and similar...

          Better copy all your favourite songs from YooooToooob before they get altered.

            It's a new song. The old one is still there.

            If you can bear to listen to the new one - it's autotuned, which I understand can be a stylistic choice but I find abhorent - I think the only word with any gender in it is Mother, as in Mother Nature. It's a single parent now. No mention of girls.

            I doubt it'll raise a blip in the charts. Or whatever passes for them nowadays.

              Though I do think the visuals have improved
              Nah. I much preferred the nice fat ladies in the original.

                  I fully expect to be called woke and a white knight, but FFS there are some bigotted comments in this thread!

                      Ugh. Autotuning? Definitely not going to listen to it.
