415 - All The Small Things - The CoverUp
Episode 415
Monday, 8 December, 2025

A perfectly executed song that utterly defines a genre — for good or ill — and a cover that takes a simple start and uses a lot of musical smarts to recontextualize it. All The Small Things, originally by Blink-182, covered by City Mouth. We've used this outro music before, but it's time to restore the ear worm. The Bumblebee Tuna song by Mephiskapheles.
