I totally lifted this collection from Entertainment Weekly mag, but I think more people need to appreciate how moldable this song is.  It’s just a testament to how expertly written certain pop songs are, even if they come across as sweet, empty calories.

     I LOVE taking a song and totally twisting it feel-wise, vox-wise, and genre-wise.  It’s great to do the old gender-switch, too (as in singing a song originally performed by the opposite gender), which makes for all kinds of provocative new lyrical connotations.

All-American Rejects’ take, featuring actual crazy eyes, whooping cheers, and skinny jeans.  Love Tyson Ritter’s androgynous look and gender-bending lyric-play.  Who might he be singing to?

Lily Allen gets all passive-aggressive with it.  She’s, like, so bored already.    

This one by LadyHawke actually makes me a little teary.  Let’s dance around a bonfire of burning Valentine’s Day cards to it.
