We're suckers for a good cover at The Dirtywhirl so the news that The Onion's AV Club was starting a project called Undercover piqued our interest. As one of our favorite sites (seriously -- their TV recappers are great), we didn't doubt that Undercover would come off well. In a nutshell, The AV Club made a list of 25 songs that they'd like to see covered. As bands make their way through Chicago on tour or on vacation or whatever, they stop by The AV Club's offices and get their pick of which song on the list they'd like to cover. The earlier a band comes in, the more choices they have. The series kicked off last week with Ted Leo & The Pharmacists' top-notch cover of the Tears For Fears classic "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" and continues this week with The Fruit Bats' great take on Hall & Oates's "One On One."
