Janz's Light Sanctum - Songs that Vocaloid can't cover: Part I

You know, Vocaloids cannot cover just anything for a number of reasons, mostly having to do with the songs. If you find a cover of these, send me a link in the comments. Here are some that can't be done:

All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor
Well...there are no Vocaloids with the body type for this type of song to ever be appropriate. I don't think there's even a male Vocaloid who isn't a goddamn stick figure. It's not going to happen, unless someone's done it.

Anything Goes by Cole Porter
This is an old song. From the Roaring 20's, and the lyrics show it. There are many, many, many outdated references to 20's current events, from Sam Goldwyn and Anna Sten, to name-dropping the Vanderbilts and the Rockefellers. There are so much that unless you go full out 20's theme, it'll miss the mark.

Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People
Whooo...this one. These are lyrics about a school shooting; most likely appropriate for Vocaloid since it's dramatic enough. However, there are problems about the vocals, which are very hard to duplicate. The chorus has a very high reverb, and the verses are very radio-like. I know they did this in Ponponpon, but that just happens to not be a cover. Sorry.
