the reason it exists are pokemon is doing a very strange 25th anniversary celebration that includes getting post malone to cover hootie & the blowfish. there's going to be a katy perry song about pikachu at some point too
― ufo, Friday, 26 February 2021 22:01 (three years ago) link
Katy Perry singing about Pikachu for a Pokemon thing makes sense.I just don't quite understand the decision for Post Malone to cover Hootie and the Blowfish for this.Like if he was covering M2M's Don't Say You Love Me, that would make a lot more sense.

I mean, it's fine if you were looking for a more woke, 2021 take on the Sum 41 sound, but I can't say that I was looking for that.
And I don't mean this as a criticism of the members themselves, especially considering how sexist most of the negative takes are, but it doesn't seem to bode well that they are already responding to critics with multi-page Instagram posts a month before the debut EP even comes out.
