GWAR returns to the AV Club
October 27, 2015
For the fourth year in a row (the most by any artist human, Scumdog or otherwise), your mastersGWAR returned to The A.V. Club to take part in the A.V. Undercover Series. The A.V. Undercover Series features artists covering other artists\’ music. GWAR\’s first offering tackled theKansas classic, \”Carry on Wayward Son\” – which was voted favorite performance of the year, to no surprise of GWAR. After a year of celebrating the victory, the group returned to defend the crown with its unique spin on Billy Ocean\’s \”Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into My Car.\” For their third appearance, the band went New Wave with their version of Pet Shop Boys\’ \”West End Girls\”, which segued into a re-worked version of Jim Carol\’s \”People Who Died\”, paying tribute to fallen GWAR members and friends of the band. And of course they won performance of the year again.
This time, the band dug deep into their cassette collection and pulled out Cyndi Lauper\’sGreatest Hits. Once they came across \”She-Bop\” and learned that it was a song about masturbation, which is a habit near and dear to their hearts, they decided this is the song they must play to defend their \”Undercover\” title for an unprecedented fourth time! So without any more fanfare here it is, the orgasm-inducing GWAR rendition of \”She-Bop\” with a little surprise at the end: http://www.avclub.com/video/
