Remaking fun or...?

I can't decide if I'm happy that this remake is catching on or if I'm sad that people seem to love the remake more than the original song from Architecture In Helsinki. And what's more, some people seem to not even know it's a remake! As Dr. Dog himself would say, "Shame, Shame". But when all is said and done, I have a fondness for both.
