Why do we like this?

Haddaway released "What Is Love (Baby, Don't Hurt Me)" way back in 1993, and I bet you still have the song buried somewhere in your head.

While the Eurodance track seems like it was probably best-suited for a Eurovision contest, it probably got the majority of its attention from Saturday Night Live's Night At The Roxbury series. At least, that's where I got my intro to the song.

Flash forward 20 years, and a relative newcomer by the name of Jaymes Young has decided to put his own spin on the track. The end result is a gentle and heartfelt cover that reminds me a lot of Bastille.

Two thumbs way, way up on this one.

By Devin Duckworth on Jun 28, 2013 | London electronic musician Dan Smith, or Bastille, has been making quite a bit of noise from across the pond with his "Overjoyed" track.
