Watch This Parody Cover Of Every Mumford And Sons Song So You Never Have To Listen To Mumford And Sons Again

Honest, right-thinking people everywhere have long held that Mumford and Sons are the musical equivalent of the “artisan” chicken-and-mayonnaise sandwich that’s been sitting in the cold-foods section of a truck-stop 7/11 since the Gillard administration; it claims to be wholesome and fancy and old-fashioned, but it has ideas far above its station and will make you up your little guts. Mumford and Sons and their homeopathically weak brand of limp, safe pop-folk-pap single-handedly catapulted the vested, faux-sincere fedora aficionado into the Pantheon of Insufferable Musical Personalities alongside the white wannabe rapper from the northern suburbs and that guy who brings a guitar to a house party and calls everyone “brah”.

I’m probably being a bit harsh, but there’s no denying the fact that one guy with a guitar can replicate and lampoon Mumford’s entire battery-hen folk shtick in less than ninety seconds.

There! Now you never have to hear another Mumford and Sons song for all your live-long days. Make the most of that freed-up time — maybe go for a bike ride, enjoy a healthy, respectable mango, or retreat to the Great Dividing Range and start a secessionist movement that makes periodic raids on small, outlying villages, horse-drawn carts and the patrols of the dastardly Gendarmes. Or go listen to some better music, I dunno.
