Absolute pop genius from a song that wasn’t supposed to be pop at all, and a cover that’s a terrible fit which helps to make it even more awesome. Call Me Maybe, originally by Carly Rae Jepsen, covered by Leo Moraccioli.

Outro music is We Are Young, by Fun, just to remind you that the bar was high in 2012.

A powerful, insightful, and moving song from someone who, on the surface, is the unlikeliest source, and two covers that drive the point home in an unbelievably compelling way. Only Women Bleed, originally by Ailce Cooper, covered by Etta James, and by Ike Turner featuring Tina Turner.

Outro music is Welcome To My Nightmare, also by Alice Coper.

It’s spring, so we have a song about the impending winter because cover songs don’t exist in a conventional timeline. And not just any winter, but one that completely fails to anticipate Olivia Rodrigo. Stick Season, originally by Noah Kahan, covered by Alex Melton.

Outro music is Good 4 U by the aforementioned Olivia Rodrigo, who isn’t heard anywhere else in the episode — just to be clear.
