Question

If you've never heard of the A.V. Club's Undercover sessions, you're in for a treat. Here's the way it works: They create a list of songs to be covered. One by one, bands choose from the list and as the songs are played, they're marked off.

To start off this thread, here's Lake Street Drive's cover of A-Ha "Take On Me."

Fidget 5

Answer 1

First time hearing them. ??

Answer 2

Love Lake Street Dive.

Answer 3

They Might Be Giants covers Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping." It's more like an NPR Tiny Desk Concert than a typical AV Undercover joint.

Answer 4

The Punch Brothers create a version of The Cars' "Just What I Needed" that outstrips the original in every way possible. What stands out to me is Chris Thile conveys romantic tension far better than Ric Ocasek did in the original.

Answer 5

Xiu Xiu takes on ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man."

Answer 6

The Regrettes' cover of Sweet's "Fox on the Run."

Answer 7

Filthy Friends' cover of Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know?" reminds me of the Divynils.
