The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die – “Built This Pool” (Blink-182 Cover)
“Built This Pool” is the most ridiculous and therefore most memorable track on California, Blink-182’s comeback album from last year: just 14 seconds of revved-up pop-punk showcasing the Mark Hoppus lyrics, “I wanna see some naked dudes/ That’s why I built this pool.” So it’s funny song for the World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, a band that specializes in widescreen prog-damaged emo epics, to cover. Their somber acoustic version of the tune is more than double the length, clocking in at a whopping 39 seconds, so technically I guess you could say they’ve given it the TWIABP treatment.
