The Good Lovelies did a nice cover of this song. Three part harmony, and during the breakdown the upright bass does a cool descending/ascending thing.

For those interested: 'Crabbuckit' refers to the 'Crab in the bucket'-syndrome, a phenomenon where when a group of crabs is trapped in a bucket, they will pull any crab who's trying to escape down, thus ensuring collective elimination. Also Nelly Furtado is seen playing a guitar at 1:14 and Red1 from Rascalz at the bar beside k-os at 2:45. And yes, k-os is written with a lower case k, to look less agressive. The more you know... :)

Matter of fact, the only thing a crab is good for is holding back other crabs. A crab don't wanna see another crab make it. Crab is like,' if I'm gonna die, we all gonna die'. I admire that.

They got K-Os to explain his many rhyme techniques inside the books he was interviewed for - *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP 2* One of his quotes in them is: "Writing lyrics to be sung is different from writing rap lyrics - there’s a cadence difference, and some things don’t sound right. Like “onomatopoeia,” that word, no matter how many times you sing it, it’s just not a really sexy word to sing, but if you say it in a rap, you get to fit it somewhere. A word like that is a wicked rap word because it’s got so much movement."
