Post Malone did indeed cover a classic Hootie and the Blowfish song as a part of his partnership for Pokémon. Yes, that may be one of the more bizarre sentences you’ve read today, but it’s true!

Part of Pokémon’s 25th anniversary celebration included collaborating with Post Malone on a couple of things. For one, he’s performing a virtual concert for Pokémon Day this weekend, but ahead of that, he released a new cover of the Hootie And The Blowfish 90’s classic “Only Wanna Be With You.”

What connection does this song have to Pokémon? Great question… nothing. But we’re here for it!

Former lead singer for Hootie and the Blowfish, Darius Rucker approved of this cover Tweeting in part, “The smile in my face will not leave for a long time. This is awesome.”

This Twitter exchange brings joy to our heart!
