"Only Wanna Be With You" by Post Malone

 


Grapevine, Texas rapper Post Malone was one of a handful of artists who contributed a song for a compilation album celebrating the 25th anniversary of Pokemon.

Malone's entry was a cover of Columbia, South Carolina soft rockers Hootie and The Blowfish's 1995 international hit "Only Wanna Be With You."

The lyrics are the same, except for a single line.

In the original, Hootie... or maybe one of the blowfish.... sang "I'm such a baby, 'cause the dolphins make me cry."

Post Malone changes it to "the Cowboys make me cry."

Perhaps it's a nod to the Dallas football team.

Or, maybe not.  I've also seen "Brokeback Mountain."

For a cover of a Post Malone song, Of Monsters and Men's version of "Circles" can be found here.
