Twin Shadow covers 112's "Cupid" for UNDR THE CVRS

My girlfriend listens almost exclusively to a meticulously curated '90s R&B Pandora station every morning, so it's safe to say that I've heard 112's "Cupid" in this admittedly young new year. Those of you who are less fortunate may have to be reminded of the awesome 1997 song via Twin Shadow's oddball, chiptune-y cover.
As part of his UNDR THE CVRS series, the enigmatic producer has already taken on U2, Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen and Tori Amos among others. But none of those involved adding a bubbling, guitar solo to a Bad Boy song that made it to Number 2 on the US R&B charts at a time when that was rather difficult.
Twin Shadow has reached peak cover song.
