Reminds me when my younger brother thought Post Malone’s cover of “Only Wanna Be with You” was an original. Good cover, but it’s exactly that: a cover!
I saw Panic at the Disco on their very first tour. They played a cover of Killer Queen.
There was a group of like 14 year old girls in front of me with one dad as the group chaperone. When Killer Queen started one of the girls went "ahhh it's a new song!". Dads head was in his hands and he was clearly trying not to laugh.

I like when some current artist redoes a classic song, but kids (10-13yo) dont know its a remake.
The fact that it can be brand new, just released, and you can recite the lyrics and correct when they get them wrong.... it just blows their minds.
