Music switch?

On my bi-annual rewatch.... Jink episode, you know you know. I could of sworn the original song was Placebo Running up the hill but now its some piano version... Prime X Ray says its Voices of Pop... I know there are lots of covers but this wasnt the original backing version... well now im crying and confused

I just pulled up the Placebo version (10 years ago the YouTube video was released on their official channel) and comparing it to the Track and Field version, they are similar, but the Placebo version is off. Too electric, too harsh. The version in the show (episode released in 2011, so years before Placebo released a video for their version) was always softer.

Edit: Found an article from 2012, Placebo is not mentioned at all, but Track and Field is.

IMDb also credits Track and Field.

It's now Voices of Pop :-( guess licensing was up. Lacks the depth and punch of the original audio for that moment.
