One of my favorite songs of 2008 is Sleepyhead by Passion Pit. Well, my eyes have opened a little wider to find this wonderful reworking of the original by Emil&Friends.

Passion Pit – Sleepyhead (Emil&Friends Rework)

I love the change in lyrics:

It’s time to get to get out of bed, c’mon you sleepyhead, sleepyhead

I’m a sucker for things like that. Small little signature changes, kind of like the changes in the lyrics I talked about a few weeks ago in the diplo remix of I’m a Lady. This rework is a little easier on the ears than the falsetto of the original.

When Passion Pit’s version was the free single of the week, I saw a pretty funny review in iTunes.

I kind of agree, and this new rework does not sound like the hamster dance.

Anyways…..

I hope your ears hamsterdance. Ω
