One of the very best things going for music on the interwebs the last couple of years has been A.V. Club's A.V. Undercover series.
A series that employs indie rock bands (and GWAR) to perform covers of hit songs of yesteryear with their own personal touch. It doesn't always come together, but when it does you get gems like when Superchunk covered The Cure's "Inbetween Days".
The Christmas songs have spun a few instant classics that you never would have dreamed of like this one by Wye Oak or this one by Big Red.
This latest installment comes courtesy of the Tokyo Police Club who perform a cover of the Wheatus hit "Teenage Dirtbag". The song, originally the driving force behind Jason Biggs rom-com Loser, definitely adopts more of a garage band sound in this incarnation. It doesn't quite top the greatest A.V. Club cover of all time, but it is still fun and well worth a listen for a quick trip down memory lane.
