The AV Club has a new editor-in-chief, Danette Chavez, and they’re relaunched their A.V. Undercover series after seven years of dormancy. They took Consequence‘s suggestion to start things off with a rendition of “I’m Just Ken” from Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie, and GWAR were up for the challenge. Instead of a faithful cover, they rewrote the lyrics to make them their own (and Blothar the Berserker admitted to having a “prurient interest in Ryan Gosling”). Watch them play “We’re Just GWAR” below.
GWAR are on tour through the fall, including an NYC show at Brooklyn Steel on November 6, with Dark Funeral and Squid Pisser. See all dates below.
