You know you ve touched a cultural nerve when the first single from your debut album gets recorded over and over in styles ranging from ska to deathcore and just about everything in between.
Below are five of our favorite takes.
Artist Mentioned
1. EXO s Chanyeol
The latest version comes from EXO member Chanyeol, whose bossa nova and ska-tinged version popped up in the trailer for his upcoming film
The Box on March 1.
2. The Interrupters
Speaking of ska, L.A. s The Interrupters gave the tune a skankin riddim and wicked trombone solo for their 2019 take on the song from the singer who they called a breath of fresh air for music!
Finding Ohana begins with an exhilarating opening sequence as Pili (likeable newcomer Kea Peahu) races a bicycle through Brooklyn. She is geocaching, a GPS-guided treasure hunt that s like an escape room outdoors. Sorry folks, it s a competition, she apologizes when she knocks people and objects aside in a narrow laundromat, without trying to hide the triumph in her voice. We get a view that puts us on her handlebars, with lively, kinetic editing that makes us feel like we are in the race.

It is not just Pili s riding that s fast. She outsmarts the other participants with tenacity, excellent puzzle-solving, and the ability to communicate with her teammate in Spanish so no one else can hear her solution. She wins! It s a triumphant moment. And the prize is a trip to geocaching camp, so she can work on her skills even more. This is going to be the best summer EVER!
