in spring 2008, i must have had the lyric “and it feels so unnatural/peter gabriel too” in my head for months. now, peter gabriel himself finally comes out with a cover of vampire weekend’s “cape cod kwassa kwassa” in collaboration with hot chip. though the song sounds uncannily like the theme song from disney’s “tarzan,” i dig the idea.
and check out these other recent covers:
the kooks- “kids” by mgmt (another blast from spring 2008)
florence and the machine- “halo” by beyoncé
imogen heap- “thriller” by michael jackson
I promise I won’t only post awesome covers of Joy Division, but this amazing video off FreeWilliamsburg is too good to pass up -
Please pass this on to Trinity’s music department, and hopefully we’ll get a Samba cover of Age of Consent by next May?
The audio is Hot Chip’s version of the same song, check it!
