Zooma-Zooma-Zooma? Hmm.
The source of all that is alt, Hipster Runoff, said that “The only reason people like Paper Planes is cuz of the gun shots” and I agree, but it seems not everyone does. A guy called Josh Jones has covered the song, and there isn’t a gun-shot or cash-register sound to be heard! He’s replaced them with ‘Zooma zooma’ and a very apathetic ‘boom boom’.
Despite that, it works quite nicely as a cover. Compared to this one, which just glosses over the shootey-noise section (and half the song…) with sound it holds up quite nicely, and it’s more inventive that just about all the remixes/mashups I’ve heard (there are many…), with only a DFA one above it in my mental ranking, which, while despite also losing the gunshots, is still pretty awesome.
