Watch Scary Cute Kid Band Crush Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Wish’

As long as you don’t look up the original lyrics, there is something adorably wholesome about the latest video from Ohio’s O’Keefe Music Foundation starring a group of grade school and high school students crushing the 1993 Nine Inch Nails ripper “Wish.”

In a five-minute video posted by the youth music education program that offers free music lessons, music camps, recording sessions and music video production to youth musicians from around the world, a young girl is suuuuuuper bored at her lame birthday party. Then she makes a wish and blows out her candles and is magically transported to a rec room rager where some kids are shredding the Grammy-winning, hard-charging industrial single from NIN’s 1992 Broken EP.

Fronted by fierce 10-year-old vocalist Zoë Franziska and propelled by blitzing drums from 18-7ear-old Will Bright, the cover includes more playground appropriate lyrics in place of Trent Reznor‘s not-safe-for-school lines plumbing the depths of masochism and nihilism. And while the cover is fierce, the whole things also comes off kind of cute thanks to the sight of all those kics packed into a room festooned with streamers and balloons ripping it on guitars and keytars.

Previous O’Keefe Music Foundation video include some of its students covering the guitar solo from Pantera’s “Walk,” the Van Halen song “Eruption” and Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You.”

While there’s no update on when fans can expect new music from NIN, last week the band announced a team-up with Welcome Skateboards on a limited run of decks and merch celebrating the 30th anniversary of the band’s 1994 beloved album The Downward Spiral.
