GWAR’s Tribute to Late Lead Singer Oderus Is a Pet Shop Boys Cover
 |
What did you expect – “Tears in Heaven”?
The AV Club has an ongoing feature where they invite bands in to do unlikely covers from a limited list, and GWAR were game – though they turn their metal take on “West End Girls” into a totally new tune at the end that focuses on the untimely death of Dave Brockie/Oderus Urungus.
Is it weirder than when The Pet Shop Boys covered Elvis? You be the judge…
