(00:01):
Today we're going to be listening to Taylor from the Swifties with a song called Down
Bad.
We don't review cover songs here, we cover songs completely reimagined.
And this track really is different to the original, which is of course Down Bad by Taylor
Swift.
Let's take a listen.
Did you really beam me up in a cloud of sparkling dust?

(00:28):
Just to do experiments on?
Tell me I was the chosen one.
Show me that this world is bigger than us.
And sent me back where I came from for a moment I knew cosmic love.
Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym.

(00:52):
Everything comes out teenage petulance.
What if I can't have him?
I might just die, it would make no difference.
Down Bad, waking up in blood, staring at the sky.
Come back and pick me up.
What if I can't have us?
I might just not get up, I might skate down bad.

(01:14):
What if I can't have him?
Down Bad, what if I can't have him?
Did you take all my old clothes?
Just to leave me here naked and alone?
In a field in my same old town?
That somehow seems so hollow now.

(01:35):
They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about the existence of you.
For a moment I was heaven struck.
Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym.
Everything comes out teenage petulance.
What if I can't have him?

(01:55):
I might just die, it would make no difference.
Down Bad, waking up in blood, staring at the sky.
Come back and pick me up.
What if I can't have us?
I might just not get up, I might skate down bad.
Like I lost my twin.
What if I can't have him?

(02:19):
Down Bad, down Bad.
Waving at the ship.
What if I can't have him?
I loved your hostile takeovers.
Encounters closer and closer.

(02:39):
All your indecent exposures.
How dare you say that it's?
I'll build you a fort on some planet where they can all
understand it.
How dare you think it's romantic leaving me safe and
stranded?

(03:00):
Because what if I was in love?
What if I can't have us?
Because what if I was in love?
Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym.
Everything comes out teenage petulance.
What if I can't have him?
I might just die, it would make no difference.

(03:23):
Down Bad, waking up in blood, staring at the sky.
Come back and pick me up.
What if I can't have us?
I might just not get up.
I might stay down bad like I lost my twin.
What if I can't have him?
Down Bad, down Bad.

(03:50):
Waving at the ship.
What if I can't have him?
I might just die, I might stay down bad like I lost my twin.
What if I can't have him?
Waving at the ship.
What if I can't have him?

(04:13):
I love that.
We got to hear one more.
I will leave you with their version of Fortnite.
Don't forget to subscribe for more fascinating reimagined
tracks.
I was supposed to be sent away, but they forgot to come and get
me.
I was a functioning alcoholic till nobody noticed my new
aesthetic.

(04:35):
All of this to say, I hope you're OK, but you're the reason.
And no one hears to blame.
But what about your quiet reason?
And for Fortnite there, we were forever running to you.

(04:56):
Sometimes ask about the weather.
Now you're in my backyard, turned into good neighbors.
Your wife waters flowers.
I want to kill her.
All my mornings are Mondays, stuck in an endless February.

(05:21):
I took the miracle, move on drug.
The effects were temporary.
And I love you, it's ruined in my life.
I love you, it's ruined in my life.
I touched you for only a fortnight.

(05:43):
I touched you, but I touched you.
And for Fortnite there, we were forever running to you.
Sometimes ask about the weather.
Now you're in my backyard, turned into good neighbors.

(06:06):
Your wife waters flowers.
I want to kill her.
And for Fortnite there, we were together running to you.
Sometimes coming on my sweater.
Now you're at the mailbox, turned into good neighbors.

(06:33):
My husband is cheating.
I want to kill him.
