We've Got You Covered

The soundtrack for the video game "Stubbs the Zombie" features a number of great covers. Over the next few weeks, HEAVE will deliver a few of the best ones.

Ben Kweller kicks off the "Stubbs the Zombie" soundtrack with his cover of the Ronald and Ruby classic “Lollipop." This song is arguably the best on the soundtrack. Upon hearing the first 10 seconds of the song, be prepared to have the entire song stuck in your head for the better part of a decade, but in an endearing way. Kweller’s voice and the simple harmony almost make you wish that it was 1962 and you were in a diner or soda shop somewhere. Maybe then you could save the hot girl from Biff and be the coolest kid at the whole sock hop.

Regardless of the era, the song is one that anyone can enjoy. Whether it’s sung by Ben Kweller, the Chordettes or Ronald and Ruby, “Lollipop” will have you tapping your feet and either singing, humming or whistling the melody for at least the rest of the day. Don’t believe me? Well have a listen and see for yourself. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, though.
