I Was A Cub Scout - She Will Be Loved (Live Maroon 5 cover) (zShare)

I can't say I'm a Maroon 5 fan. I remember a couple years ago when they were seemingly the only band that existed as far as radio DJs were concerned, with this song (as well as a few others by them) completely dominating the airwaves, and me hating every minute of it. I guess I'm not as cool as I might like to think, though, 'cause this IWACS cover kills me. The lyrics, which are admittedly a little hard to hear here due to the poor, cell-phone quality of the recording, take on a kind of wide-eyed, youthful, pop-y brilliance for me - perfectly capturing the desire, the physical need even, to just hold onto someone.
