Top 100: #94

Number 94: Nouvelle Vague - Teenage Kicks
Album: Nouvelle Vague, 2005.
Added 5/21/07, 34 plays.



First, I'd love to say how awesome Nouvelle Vague's name is. Here's a French band doing New Wave songs they've never heard before in Bossa Nova. Nouvelle Vague and Bossa Nova each mean New Wave, by the way. Genius.

So, here they are covering The Undertones. This is one of the greatest rock songs of all time, done in a very cool way without turning into loungey background music, a problem for a lot of the other songs on the album.
