Video of the Day #5: Polyphonic Spree – Lithium (Nirvana Cover)

By Phil Singer on Tuesday, 17th February 2009 at 6:00 pm

This could well be a controversial choice in the video department. The Polyphonic Spree (remember, those 20-odd crazy Americans who are a bit too happy?) have just released a video to accompny their cover of Nirvana’s Lithium. To some, this will be sacrilege, to others, genius.

It’s not exactly a new cover – they performed it when we caught them in 2007, however the video is new, and provides a great talking point.

Either way, watch and leave your comments and thoughts about it below.
