After being number one on the music charts only three months ago, Britney’s hit Womanizer has been covered by the All-American Rejects.
We’re all used to parodies where the words of songs are changed, but this gypsy-inspired remake borders on cover and parody.
The words aren’t changed, but the band slows the song down and uses child-like accordions and empty beer bottles as instruments. This cover uses their raw talent, where Britney’s original version is over-synthesized.
It will be interesting to see if more bands will be doing covers while songs are still popular, rather than waiting many years to revive an oldie, yet goodie.
