No use bashing Mandy or any other singer or musician because, when compared to XTC, all are rubbish.

Well done mandy. Great cover version
-
well, she didn't completely destroy. I more impressed she even knows who XTC is.

She looks like Haley Kiyoko

Feels like the drummer needs to lose the click track - the guitars are pushing ahead to try and up the tempo a bit but it doesn't go anywhere . . . still, a very good version of XTC's classic. Again, probably very good choice to cover this song - thumbs up from me.

really?

As a longtime fan of geek pop (XTC, They Might Be Giants esp), it's still a little weird to see a 'hot girl' sing some of these sarcastic nerd-classic lyrics.
I've been an XTC fan for a long time, and I'm not, and don't think I'll ever be a fan of Mandy Moore. That being said, any female singer that likes XTC enough to make a cover of one of her songs has my admiration. Surely she didn't do it because of the "huge commercial success" of the song, and her version is not bad, looks to me like he enjoys the song.Andy agreed to it because, I think, he has an open mind and doesn't consider his music sacred. I happen to think the same way.

All the tension and buildup is gone from this version. Still, I'm glad she has the taste to choose this song to cover.
