a lot of people have commented that they enjoyed this *despite* reservations about the (overused) song choice - it is nice to hear enthusiasm for the song from the outset!
Apologies if I sounded negative about the song choice, because it's completely PERFECT for this canon and this particular story that you're telling (and the two-voiced nature of this cover makes it especially apt here).
(Some discussion going on here here about some of the resonances of the song which make it especially appropriate, which may or may not have been in your head consciously but are awesome anyway.)
But it's so over-used that the only way to get away with using it is to do so with supreme skill and confidence -- "when you shoot at a king, you better not miss". It's a very high-risk activity! And you NAIL it and it's glorious.
