The newest cover from the A.V. Club’s resurrected Undercover series has hit the internet featuring a performance by GWAR, and the internet is responding with the appropriate amount of enthusiasm. This season’s list of songs that artists could select to cover included Nick Lowe‘s “Cruel to Be Kind,” and The La’s “There She Goes.” But GWAR went to the most timely choice: Chappell Roan‘s “Pink Pony Club.”
In the announcement for the video, the band’s lead singer Berzerker Blothar said, “‘Pink Pony Club’ is about embracing exile from a boring, shitty world and remaking yourself into whatever you want—be who you are, piss people off, we don’t care!”
The song sounds just what you think it would coming from GWAR: loud, unironic and fascinating. Of course, the video has set the internet ablaze. (If you’re looking for more GWAR covers, in previous seasons of A.V. Undercover, the group have tackled Cyndi Lauper‘s “She Bop,” and “I’m Just Ken,” from the Barbie soundtrack, which are exactly as enjoyable as you would think.)
