Today in ironic covers: Boy George does Lana Del Rey and the Darkness take on Radiohead

Boy George hasn’t done much lately, but his cover of Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games” is stellar, replacing the original track’s blasé delivery with his usual flair for keeping its hazy pace. What would it take for him to do more of these? And if he did, could we maybe just do away with Lana Del Rey all together?

In other news, The Darkness have covered Radiohead’s “Street Spirit (Fade Out)”, taking The Bends stand-out’s slow crawl, throwing it out the window and subbing in a rollicking gallop and piercing falsetto. You know you’re curious, but since we can’t embed the cover you’re going to have to head to Pitchfork to hear it. Trust us, it’s worth the extra clicks.
