- (FBE) The challenge today is going to put
your music knowledge to the test.
- Oh no. - Music knowledge.
I think this is gonna be fun, 'cause I feel like we have
different music knowledge. - Yeah.
- Oh God. - Oh damn.
- Okay, that makes me feel better. We're both gonna be really bad.
This is great.
- It depends on what music. - Yeah, what style of music
is going on. - Because I have a very narrow
field of view when it comes to music.
- (FBE) You two will be going head to head to see
if you can figure out if the song is an original
or a cover. - Oh my God.
- What? - That's crazy.
- That's hard, 'cause honestly, covers can sound way better
than originals now.
- This is tricky because I'm still barely learning
whenever I hear certain songs that it was actually a cover
this whole time. - I think this can be
pretty hard, actually. I'm not gonna lie.
- (FBE) So, we'll be playing you a segment of the song
and you'll write down if you think it's a cover
or the original. One point for each
correct answer. Most points at the end wins.
- Okay. - Got it.
All right, this is gonna be exciting.
- All right, don't look at my answers.
- I won't. No cheating.
- (FBE) Not only are you trying to do your personal best,
but this is a teens vs. college kids competition.
- Oh. - Ooh.
- I gotta hold it down. I'm the older one here.
- I gotta hold it down for the young kids out there.
- Okay.
- Now this is a little bit more personal.
- We're not going down. - You're gonna be one
of us soon anyway, though. - I know, but teens for now.
We're gonna go get it and then when I become
a college kid, I'll be like, forget the teens.
- I'm so competitive. - I'm more competitive
when it comes to my generation than myself.
- I'm just all around very competitive.
- Okay, well then bring it. Let's go.

♪ You know you look so good ♪ - You know, I didn't realize
there were gonna be words after that,
so I'm like, "Oh wow, there's a whole 'nother
part to that." - I love that song.
- It's just a classic song. It's gonna be really
embarrassing if we get this wrong.
- (FBE) Let me see your answers.
- Is it an original?
- Original.
- I said original. - Ooh, same.
Same answer.
- Original. - I think it's a cover.
- (FBE) So, this version of Twist and Shout
you just heard was on the Beatles' first album,
Please Please Me in 1963.
However, it was written and recorded by
the Top Notes in 1961, so this is a cover.
- This is a cover? - Okay.
- Darn.
- It's a cover? - Dude, what?
- I'm glad we both got it wrong, though,
'cause I was gonna be real nervous if you
wrote down cover and it was right.
- I'm rethinking my life now.
- I think there was that bias that everyone thought
it was by the Beatles, but it wasn't.
- Yeah, I don't even know the second band
that you just said.
- Wait, so the Beatles is the cover?
What? Literally as I was writing
original down, I was like, what if this is a trick question?
- I have this album on vinyl, so that's the only reason
I knew it. - You would.
- (FBE) Nerd. - I know.
It's my favorite album of all time. - It's so good.
- It's so good. Love Me Do, you ever
hear that song? It's like angels.
You ever hear-- okay, all right.
I can't. I'm taking this point
and I'm going home.

- She was my celeb crush when I was your age.
- Really? - Oh yeah.
- My question is did Ariana cover this from a song
from the '50s or something? - The '50s?
- (FBE) Reveal those answers. - Say original.
- Yeah.
- Original? - Oh, shoot.
- Let 'em know.
- (FBE) No Tears Left to Cry was on Ariana Grande's
fourth studio album, Sweetener that came out
in 2018. This is an original song by her.
- Got it. - Good job.
- She did the damn thing with that song.
I'm proud of her.
- Yay, okay, 'cause that's why.
I feel like since it was such a big song,
I would have heard about it if it was a cover.
- That would be some tea. - Yeah, wouldn't it have been?
- But even Ed Sheeran wrote songs for One Direction.
You never know.
- Whoo, let's go. - Yeah.
I love her. - I do, too.
See, we can get along. Look at that.
- Yeah. - Generations unite.
- You didn't blow it up.
- You guys are throwing so many different eras
at us now like that one song
was a Beatles song. - I don't know what to expect,
so I don't know how to feel about it.

♪ I ain't gonna do you wrong 'cause I don't wanna ♪
- See, this song, I am not sure.
- The older music's so hard, 'cause they could have been
making music in the '30s and the '40s and stuff like that.
You don't know. It's old to you,
but it could be even older to them.
- It's really old to me.
- Did you underline it for emphasis?
- Well yeah, 'cause I'm right. - I'm putting three lines.
- (FBE) Go for it. Let me see them.
- I'm saying it's a cover. - I think it's an original.
- What'd you put? - I said OG.
- I'm just making a bold statement.
- Yeah, I'm saying cover. - I said cover, too.
- Oh my goodness.
- (FBE) Respect is a song written and originally released
by American recording artist, Otis Redding in 1965.
The song became a 1967 hit and signature song
for R&B singer Aretha Franklin, which is the cover
you just heard. - Oh my gosh.
- I was literally about to write cover,
but then I was like, I don't know things.
- I feel better knowing that you lost this one, too,
so technically you don't have another point.
- Okay. - I don't have another point,
but technically, you don't have one, either.
- I thought your reasoning was gonna be,
I feel good because you're old and you didn't even get that.
- You just don't know, Troy. - She's older than me.
It's not fair. She's like a grandma.
It's not even fair at this point. - You're just mad 'cause
the older you get, the wiser you are
and I got years on you.
- That's right, yes. - That's so weird because
I feel like it's a really powerful-- when I think of the song,
I think of it as a women anthem,
asking for respect. I really think of it
as a women anthem and that's just so funny
to know that a guy sings it.
- When you guys said cover, I was thinking some girl
on YouTube with a ukulele was gonna play Riptide,
you know what I mean? - That's what I was waiting--
okay. - Not like this.
So I was like, wait, that's not that hard,
but this is so hard.
- I need to win for my generation.
- It's personal now. - It's not just about me anymore.

I know. Oh my gosh,

- I feel like I know something and it just feels
really empowering for the first time in life.
- I've heard both versions of this song.
I'm trying to remember which one is this one specifically.
- Wait, wait, wait. I'm changing.
I'm changing my answer.
- (FBE) Show me your answers. - I'm saying it's a cover.
- Same, same. - Just a guess.
- Is it an original? - I put OG also.
- I had cover down at first.
- I wrote cover. - Cover?
- Yeah, it's most definitely a cover.
- I haven't heard that version, but I've heard that song before
and I don't know what's the original.
I know it's the Sound of Silence, right,
but who is it by? I don't think it was them.
- (FBE) This song was originally recorded by
Simon and Garfunkel in 1964. You just heard the cover
by Disturbed. - Damn it.
- I knew it, 'cause I was talking to somebody.
- No, I had cover and then he started
saying stuff and I was like... - Just don't listen to me.
- Damn it. It sounded like a rendition to me,
but because I had never heard the song before,
I wanted to assume it was an original song.
- Yes. - Okay.
- I have a point. - Yay.
- High five. I know we're not
on the same team, but I feel like we're
on the same team now.
- The cover's interesting. It was some dark, distorted stuff.
- Yeah, I was thinking. I'm like, this is probably a cover.
It just doesn't sound 100% correct.
- I'm not gonna win this, am I?
- Well hey, no. I'm feeling pretty comfortable.
If I get this wrong, then we tie.
Hey, then it's a win for everyone.
It's a win for teens, - I don't take wins for everyone.
I don't do sympathy medals. - Okay, all right.
All right, we're going for a dub, then.

- No. - [Bleep].
Wait, rewrite it so I can see how many letters you put.
- No, follow your instincts. What is your little teen
brain telling you? - My instinct is to cheat
and get the dub, but I don't know.
- (FBE) Let me see your answer. - Okay.
Ooh, same, same.
- Pretty sure it's a cover.
- It's a cover, 'cause it's by Frank Ocean
and it's Moon River.
- I know this one. - Oh, it's a cover.
It's [bleep] from Breakfast at Tiffany's.
- I went with original. - Oh, I went cover.
- Oh my gosh. One of us is winning today,
one of us is losing. Oh gosh.
- (FBE) You just heard Moon River by Frank Ocean
released in 2018, although almost completely
unrecognizable to the original. It was sung by
Audrey Hepburn in 1961. - I should have said cover.
- That's crazy. - I should have said cover.
- Proud I could hold it down for the young kids, you know.
That representation, we need that,
so I'm glad I could be that person.
- Good job, girl. Good job.
I'm happy for you. You just left me hanging.
- You're so supportive. Wow.

for every answer. That was my strat
from the beginning.
- Gosh. She's like, "You won this one,
but not the war."
- Both of us knew that so fast.
- Damn. - I'm so upset.
- I'm sorry. - I'm so upset right now.
- I felt pretty good about the music that I listen to
and my knowledge of it, but I feel like this
just validated it. - Let me pick the songs
and it won't. - See, if we did that,
Troy would win immediately.
