Paper Planes by The Da Vincis
originally by M.I.A.

Ok, I already know what you’re thinking… another Paper Planes cover? I know… I know. (Hey, at least it isn’t MGMT or Kings of Leon, right?) But this one is really, really great. These three 17 year old kids from Jackson, Mississippi really get music. It’s catchy, it’s pretty funny, and I’m pretty sure you’ll dig it even if you hate the original. By the way, they’re releasing their debut LP, See You Tonight on Tuesday.

This is really cute and artsy and smiley.
