Remember when everyone, indie or otherwise was covering Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” a couple years ago? Well, I’m starting to see that this year’s neo-soul song that all the white kids are covering is Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” which I talked about before.

It really hit me today when I saw brooklyn vegan’s post about Deer Tick’s cover.

I’d seen a few before that, too. Mixtape Maestro has Plain White T’s cover of it. There’s also Jojo’s cover of it at on the same blog.

Rock it for Me has ABX’s mash up of the song with Patrick Wolf’s “the Magic Position” and there’s another mashup, this one by Norwegian Recycling over at mashuptown. There are a ton of remixes and whatnot as well.

I know we’re not talking trillions of covers yet, but I can see a lot more coming. You heard it here first.
