The original "Tubthumping" was popular, if that's what it was, when I was in 5th grade. I thought it was a catchy, weird song when I was 10 and I think it is a catchy weird song now. This video shows how the cover even came into existence:
I'm glad that They Might Be Giants chose this to cover and highlighted the odd parts of the song. I think they made the song even better. Chumbawamba was just asking to be auto-tuned. And I just love all the people playing and singing in that small room. The crazy energy definitely comes across in the recording.
