The AV Club Undercover has a little summer-themed mini-series going where bands cover summer songs. The most interesting one to date comes from Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., who took to a rooftop for this reinvention of the Pavement classic “Summer Babe.” The cover manages to touch on some of the trademarks of the Malkmus melody while making the song entirely their own. A good watch.
Check out Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. performing Pavement’s “Summer Babe” below.
