Hey kids, it is absolutely mandatory that you stop everything you're doing and watch The All-American Rejects perform a cover of Britney's "Womanizer" RIGHT NOW.
This video's been around for about a month, but I just now got around to watching it and wish I'd looked ti up the second I read Entertainment Weekly's review of it (A-? stingy little critics...)
I also suggest you watch in full screen and turn the sound way up. You need to get the full miniature accordion experience.
I wasn't too thrilled with AAR's new album (excluding "Gives You Hell" and "Mona Lisa (When the World Comes Down)," which are brilliant), but I put them back on my list of favorite bands the second I heard Tyson Ritter sing "maybe I could be your girl." And the random verse from "Happy Together"? LOVE!!!!
P.S. For those of you looking for some serious music, the aforementioned Entertainment Weekly article also led me to Ladyhawke's amazing cover of "Womanizer." She makes that song more beautiful and haunting than any Britney song should ever be...
Lily Allen's cover is also quite nice. A very refreshing deviation from Britney's version... I'm not sure if I'd recommend listening to these three in a row, though. I survived it, but then, I like to listen to Ashley Tisdale's songs from HSM3 on repeat...
P.P.S. After those three great covers, Sliimy's cover songs awful. It's not that bad intrinsically, and the video is quite cute, but I'm suffering from Britney cover overload. Headaaaache....

That was pretty cool. Not a big fan of the All American Rejects, but I am powerless to resist the enticement of an accordion.
