Didn't watch the Idol's rendition, but it couldn't possibly be as good as the original because Frodo did not direct the video.
Score = 2
god that's all kinds of weird. plus that ad has new levels of cheesy filters/styles going on. interesting
Score = 2
This is all just a setup for Jeff Mangum's triumphant return to public life on this season's finale.
Score = 9
i turned it off when i realized the car wasn't going to hit them.
Score = 5
My reaction is pretty "meh"
I mean, this isn;t so far away from what the Apples do in the first place, so its hard to be upset. They are pop to the core.
On the other hand, the cover isn'tgood enough to get exited about.
The video isn't funny enough either.
Score = 0
Funny that Idol is sponsored by Coke in a BIG way. And yet this song is from that Pepsi campaign.
Score = 0
This is the Apples worst song.
It makes me want to vomit.
So it was fitting for Idol stars to sing it.
They should have covered "Green Machine."

Score = 0
"American Idol" and "indie cred" in one thought? What an oxymoron!
Score = 1
