So apparently the cool thing to do at the moment is to make your own version of Robin Thicke’s number one single “Blurred Lines,” because stoner-rock stalwarts Queens of the Stone age and indie favs Vampire Weekend have both recorded covers of it recently.

Vampire Weekend’s is a somewhat jokey take here, with the full band having some serious fun with it.

Meanwhile, Queens decided to do an acoustic take for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge. It’s got all the feel of yout typical Queens tongue-so-far-embedded-into-cheek-that-it-might-open-a-whole bravado.
