blink-182 inspire “I Miss You” indie sing-along parodying “Imagine” clip

In order to actually make some people legitimately laugh in light of the coronavirus pandemic, a group of artists recreated the ironically funny Gal Gadot and friends singalong clip that went viral earlier this week. Instead of John Lennon‘s “Imagine,” the new group sings the blink-182 classic “I Miss You.” 

“I Miss You” also makes more sense during this quarantine because we’re all separated from one another. Thus, the new clip is legitimately funny and appropriate.

If you missed out on that deliciously viral clip that this new one is mocking, go ahead and watch that below first. Aside from Gadot, it also features an array of celebrities including Will Ferrell and Sarah Silverman. 

That clip didn’t go as well those involved believed and quickly backfired on the internet, with many calling it tone-deaf and anger-inducing. 

Well fear not, because others have our backs.

Led by Dr. Dog singer-songwriter Eric Slick and including Pedro The Lion‘s David Bazan, as well as Mac DeMarco, a late addition by Phoebe Bridgers and many more the “I Miss You” sing-along is the light-hearted content we all needed. 

The video is anchored by everyone’s hilarious attempts to belt that iconic tune á la Tom DeLonge. Check it out below.

While no members of blink-182 actually joined in on the singing, Mark Hoppus did take some time to set down Animal Crossing and correct their pronunciation on one of the words. That word being “head” in the line, “Don’t waste your time on me/You’re already the voice inside my head.” Everyone in the video was pronouncing the word correctly, but Hoppus points out the simple correction that DeLonge pronounces it “yead.”

We apologize for spelling out that joke so literally if you immediately understood what Hoppus was trying to convey.

Unlike the original “Imagine”  video, this one picked up a healthy head of steam in a good way.

More blink-182

People are getting pretty creative during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in the ways they’re offering new takes on music and Tom DeLonge, as well as Mark Hoppus, are showing their support of a new blink-182 cover being remixed to match the situation with the virus.

San Diego punk trio Infinite Signal took on the challenge of covering a song about the current pandemic and spun out “Wash My Hands Again” to the tune of blink’s “What’s My Age Again?”.

The band took on the challenge of covering a song about the pandemic and pulled off something truly incredible.

“We were challenged to write/cover a song about the current pandemic and it turned out to be a lot of fun. It’s important for us to note that we are taking COVID-19 seriously and we are aware of the severity of the virus. However, in uncertain & difficult times like these, it’s also important to laugh,” they wrote while posting the track.

You can see the cover below.
