This song was a little before my time but I remember Alien Ant Farm covering it with more of a punk Rock vibe. When I see how Moffett is so reserved it doesn’t feel as fun but it sounds way more professional and I can not get over how precise this guys timing is. This is a masterclass in professionalism and precision. I’ll be listening to the original version with new respect now!
