Ah, but you see ‘Cotten Eyed Joe’ in an older form sung by someone like Burl Ives is kind of… acceptable? Not great by any stretch, but you get to listen to Burl Ives for a couple of minutes and he had maybe the best voice anyone had (don’t @ me, he was an awesome singer)
Whereas ‘Follow Me’ is going to be absolute shite sung by anyone.
