Following a seven-year hiatus, the A.V. Club is reviving its ongoing covers song series, ‘A.V. Undercover.’
The concept is simple, with each season beginning with a list of 25 songs that each visiting band can choose to cover.
Once a song gets played, it gets crossed off the list, so the later a band appears in the season, the fewer songs there will be for them to choose from.
GWAR covered the Grammy and Oscar-nominated Barbie song, “I’m Just Ken” this week, reworking it as “We’re Just GWAR.”
GWAR’s singer Blöthar the Berserker said the band’s cover choice came from his own “prurient interest” in Ryan Gosling, before holding up a decapitated Barbie head during the performance.
