Normally. I'm pretty forgiving when an artist covering a song decides to omit profanity from their cover version. This time it is absolutely unforgivable. How can Look at the Fields cover Insane Clown Posse's "Miracles" and alter the best line in the song "Fucking magnets, how do they work?"
I'm mean I understand the F-Bomb doesn't lend it's self to ukulele driven songs ... but ... of all the questions pop music has produced in the past 60 years ("Why do Fools Fall in Love?'; "How Soon is Now?" ; "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?") there's no question I am more eager to have the answered than "Fucking magnets, how do they work?" I don't care if you really want to hurt me, just tell me ... fucking magnets, how do they work? I understand it's a highly travelled, six lane highway and that's why we're not doing it in the road, but that's not the question I want answered! Yes, the GPS will show me the way to San Jose, and that's where all the cowboys have gone. Do you understand? I don't give a shit about that ... all I really want to know is ... FUCKING MAGNETS! HOW DO THEY WORK!?!
For those of you not familiar with the Insane Clown Posse, and their song Miracles, here's a brief run down. ICP is equal parts Vanilia Ice, John Wayne Gacy and Kiss. Basically white boy rappers in black and white clown makeup, with grindhouse themed songs with more marketing than talent resulting in an obsessed legion of Faygo drinking fans called Jugglos. "Miracles" strays way ... way off their proven formula and takes a moment to really stop and smell the roses, appreciating all the smaller things in life like "long neck giraffes," "Fucking rainbows after it rains" and "everything chilling underwater."
So here without further ado is Look at the Fields, covering ICP. Oh ... and download it for free too, if you want.
