"The 1999 version of the song featured a classic AABB rhyme scheme with questionable scansion and slant rhymes, which contributes to its so-bad-it's-good charm."
"In a post on Bluesky today, Kirkhope shared a brand-new version of the rap featuring the rapper Substantial. It has new lyrics and fun wah-wah pedal guitar work."
"This is a shockingly good redemption arc for a song that was, in Kirkhope's words, 'the worst rap track in the history of rap tracks.'"
"It's also nice to see Kirkhope getting to experience some personal hype for his (now much-improved) song, especially after the 2023 animated Mario movie used it without crediting him."
