More than just an acoustic cover, the Noah LMFAO cover of 'Sexy & I Know it' is truly amazingly good. Taking the pop hit and making it a smooth, jazzy tune is a huge feat, especially considering the artist is 18 years old.
Noah has wanted to cover the song for awhile, but took a bit of configuration to get the song there. Gawker points out that what he did was revolutionary for the song. The LMFAO club-style song does not appeal to all, but has been a huge hit for the band. What Noah does adds another level of musical value that other generations can get in on and enjoy. The video has gone viral and gotten a lot of positive support and reviews.
