Cover Crazy

One of my favorite websites The AV Club decided to embark on a cover mission a few months back. They would get 25 artists to come in and make a video of 25 songs of their choosing. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, a band that I used to listen to religiously, came in and performed "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", originally done by Tears for Fears. I was a little hesitant, because I wasn't such a huge fan of Ted Leo's "Since U Been Gone/Maps" mashup, but this was a kickass cover. Take a look.

And if you'd like to hear Ted Leo's Kelly Clarkson/Yeah Yeah Yeah's cover and decide for yourself:
