this came on thru one of youtubes autogenerated mixes and i thought it was the original song until the very moment the first verse hit. i was getting ready to resonate with the central theme of lovesickness so well conveyed through an incredible number of artistic choices before i realized i was listening to a jerma mashup. my brain got dropkicked for a second but i admit that it enhanced the comedy significantly. bravo
