Delightful rant and I heartily agree! For what it's worth, this is the first time I'd heard the original version of this song, which I knew only from a cover by Pentatonix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOKuAigsrec (much as I like the latter band, I love the instrumentation and vocals on the original).

Thanks for linking to that video. It's a really interesting a capella version... and I think the first song I've heard from them.

I see Pentatonix as a kind of progressive a capella band: https://stpeter.im/journal/1518.html ... check out their video "Daft Punk" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MteSlpxCpo - it's insane!
