silly little poll time: how old were you when you found out "year 3000" by the jonas brothers is actually a cover, and the original is by a band called busted?
for the curious: here's the busted (2003/og version) of "year 3000" and here's the jonas brothers version

I propose that we make a time capsule to be opened in the year 3000 & the only thing inside is a copy of the Jonas Brothers 2006 smash hit Year 3000.

Meet the Mischievous Kou
Kou paces around with her pink cat, Rosalie, in the front garden of her palace. She keeps looking at her holo-watch and then to the gateway entrance. Kou suddenly spots her sister, Rini, coming back home from a mission and races to the front entrance as to be the first one in.
“Rini? Is that you?” Neo Queen Serenity calls out, expecting to hear her first born’s voice.
“Nope, sorry to disappoint mother! Just me; your least favorite daughter!” Bellowed Kou.
The queen enters the main hallway. “Come on Kou… we’ve been through this before. Rini is not my favorite daughter.”
Just like clockwork, Rini enters through the doorway just in time to hear her mother’s words out of context. *GASP!* Rini shields her heart with her left hand and holds a shocked expression on her face.
“Well if that’s how you really feel!” Rini shouts as she storms off towards her room.
“NO! WAIT!!! Rini!” The queen yells as she makes an attempt to chase after her eldest daughter. Kou sneers to herself causing her mother to whip back her head abruptly.
“WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?!” Screeched her mother.
Kou rolls her eyes and shrugs. The younger princess then walks back outside with her cat as the queen holds a bemused look on her face before continuing to chase after Rini.
“Your timing was impeccable!” Rosalie uttered excitedly.
“Ya…well it has to be, doesn’t it? I mean for tomorrow’s plan to go smoothly that is. We gotta be faster than time itself. It’s not everyday one could anticipate a future invasion into the past which could disrupt the present.”
“It sounds crazy when you say it like that.” 😸
“I know it does.” 👸🏻

"Closer" and "Year 3000"
Two to go in the #FearOfMu21c project, part of an effort to crowdsource the greatest singles of the 21st century. Here’s an index post.
Closer - Tegan & Sara
No space for the Indigo Girls on #FearOfMu21c, for the simple reason they didn't release many singles at all this century. Instead, we look to the north, where Tegan and Sara Quin are everyone's heartthrobs.
The lead single from "Heartthrob", "Closer" confirmed the duo's transition from folksy-singer-songwriters into a sleek disco machine. A late-70s synth riff announces the song, it cuts through clutter on the dancefloor and on the radio.
And then we're into a dreamlike space, playful and energetic and with a wistful romance. Tegan said, "I intended to write something sweet that reminded the listener of a time before sex, complicated relationships, drama and heartbreak. I was writing about my youth -- a time when we got closer by linking arms and walking down our school hallway, or talked all night on the telephone about every thought or experience we'd ever had."
Some would describe it as a song about, um, more physical intimacy, with the unsubtle couplet "All you think of lately is getting underneath me / All I’m dreaming lately is how to get you underneath me". Tegan acknowledges the thought, "I do imagine that this would be an okay song to make out to". Tegan's the lead writer on the song, finished by twin sister Sara and their producer Greg Kurstin.
"Closer" travels with great precision, locked into its target. It tells us about the small moments to make affairs of the heart both so specific and so universal. It won the Juno award as Single of the Year for 2013. Tegan and Sara continue to make awesome music, and a memoir, and tv show "High School" with a lesbian-not-particularly-binary queer overtext; their one hit over here is from The Lego Movie, "Everything is AWESOME!"
Year 3000 - Busted
A projection of the future, one of the great singalong songs from the start of the century. "Year 3000" put Busted on the map, proved they were more than one-hit wonders.
We can't dissect the song too deeply. Songwriters Matt, Charlie, and James with producer Steve Robson were inspired by "Back to the Future" and "Under the Sea with Willy Fog", by the group's anticipated seventh album, and the long-lasting celebrity of Michael Jackson. Ah well, two out of three ain't bad.
"Year 3000" is completely disposable pop, and it's wormed its way into everyone's heads. Boy bands, and another one, and another, and another one.
