There is absolutely nothing shocking/interesting about “mismatched genre” covers of songs. If you’ve ever endured an acoustic take on a rap song, you know what I’m talking about. Still, there is something a bit jarring about Japanese cliche-rock band Electric Eel Shock covering Minnie Riperton’s “Lovin’ You.” They take the slow soulful singing of Riperton’s original, throw that all into a trash compactor and pump out a hard rock version that still manages to fit in some nice “la la la”-ing. It’s definitely…different.
