Seriously,” Chambers said (somewhat tentatively).Teasdale said it was “nerve-wracking” to cover ‘Smoko’. “The reason [the song] is good because it is The Chats, that is why it is good because it is them performing it.
Yeah, we were shitting bricks. Are we allowed to say shitting bricks? Excellent.”The Chats have since responded to the Wet Leg cover, sharing a snippet on their Instagram story and writing: “Love ya Wet Leg, this rules.”Wet Leg also performed ‘Ur Mum’ from their self-titled debut album for triple j.

Beyoncé’s seventh album, ‘Renaissance’, a news anchor in Philadelphia snuck 15 of the R&B titan’s song titles into a live-broadcast traffic report.“Traffic is getting ‘Heated’ and it’s starting to ‘Break My Soul’ just a little bit,” NBC 10’s Sheila Watko said in her presentation last Tuesday (August 2), referencing two songs from ‘Renaissance’. She noted later in the broadcast – which earned the approval of Bey’s own mother, Tina Knowles – that she’d planned to do to a reference-laden report on the album’s release date (July 29), but couldn’t do so since there was a crash that day and she “had to be serious”.To the groans – and one emphatic “ooh!” – of her co-hosts, Watko continued in her report: “We’ve had a ‘Formation’ of traffic cones all morning … that’s still blocking two right lanes, you might want to move over ‘to the left, to the left’.”Celebrating her effort, co-host Keith Jones declared: “Sheila Watko, you ‘Run The World’.”Take a look at the full report below:Yesterday (August 8) saw ‘Renaissance’ debut at Number One on the US’ Billboard 200 chart.
Beabadoobee has put an acoustic spin on The Sundays’ 1990 song ‘Here’s Where The Story Ends’.Both Beabadoobee’s version and the UK alt-rock outfit’s original are delivered with soft, ethereal vocal tones from female singers (Harriet Wheeler fronted The Sundays). The song differs, however, where The Sundays gradually build on their textures with additional instrumentation, while Beabadoobee – real name Beatrice Laus – sticks exclusively with two acoustic guitars to relay the song’s commanding emotions.Listen to Beabadoobee’s spin, recorded live in the SiriusXM studio, below:And take a listen to the original:Laus’ in-studio cover follows the release of her second studio album, ‘Beatopia’, last month.The follow-up to 2020’s debut LP ‘Fake It Flowers’, ‘Beatopia’ dropped on July 15 and featured the singles ‘Talk’, ‘See You Soon’, ‘Lovesong’ and ’10:36′.
