I love covers. They give artists a chance to play around with music, and it gives listeners a chance to gauge the performance compared to something they're already familiar with. In this video, Weezer covers MGMT's "Kids" and Lady Gaga's "Poker Face." Even though the original versions of both songs have been completely exhausted by radio play, Weezer's cover feels fresh and light-hearted, especially as they blend the two songs together.
And I want to know where Rivers Cuomo buys his pants.
Enjoy.
"Kids" and "Poker Face," performed by Weezer "Kids" originally on MGMT's "Oracular Spectacular" (2008) "Poker Face" originally on Lady Gaga's "Fame" (2008)
