Ted Leo and the Pharmacists cover Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"
The A.V. Club launched their series “Undercover” today, which sees 25 bands covering 25 hits. The list was chosen by the website beforehand, and as bands tackle the songs, their peers will have have less to choose from. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists are the first up, and they’ve opted to hammer out the 1985 classic “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears. The song is extremely faithful to the original version, which obviously makes for a good time.
New videos will arrive every Tuesday. The A.V. Club won’t announce which artist is covering the song until that date.
Next up: Depeche Mode’s “Endure the Silence”
