ventaIt's Friday, it's about 3 o'clock. It's time to go underneath the covers (with the lights out).
I always recommend listening to a cover version without knowing what or who it is, so click on the link before reading ahead...

That was The Hotrats covering (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party), originally by the Beastie Boys.
Well, I did say that I liked covers which took the song in a whole other direction :)
The answer to "The Hotrats? Who?" is that it's Gaz-and-Danny-from-Supergrass. They recently released Turn-Ons, which is just an album of covers of songs they like. (For people who do such things, it's also available for download on eMusic).
It's got rather an interesting and varied selection of songs on it - this, Queen Bitch, Damaged Goods, Up The Junction, E.M.I... I think that this is the stand-out track, but others are well worth a listen if you're coverarily inclined.
