- The morning after the Chicago stop of their U.S tour in support of the excellent new The Brutalist Bricks, Ted Leo And The Pharmacists stopped by The A.V. Club to grace us with a cover of Tears For Fears' 1985 smash hit, "Everybody Wants To Rule The World." The bees in the background made their stage debut at the band's album-release show, and one of them was adopted by The A.V. Club.

12 years later and I would still kill for a studio version of this.
Wye Oak released theirs
Can’t believe it’s been 12 years already, this cover made me go back and revisit Tears for Fears and fall in love with their genius.
Couldn't agree more
Real talk...this is good enough in a way. But I feel ya.
13 years and just remembered this when Democracy Now played the original after McCarthy got ousted (😂😂😂), in full agreement
This might be the best cover of this song I've ever heard. I didn't think it could sound the same without a synthesizer. Naw. It just had to be done with the right heart.
If there is anything someone has accused Ted Leo of doing, half-assing a song isn't one of those things.
Big ups to the drummer for Charlie Wattsing the shit out of a drum machine part, and more importantly for wearing an MDC t-shirt
John Wayne was a Nazi and he wouldn't approve of this cover
Just found this in 2023. Amazing.
Drummer is killin
Apparently Weezer decided to cover this recently. They didn't realize the definitive cover of this song had already been made.
lmao fuck off weezer, theres no way they can pull this off
yea i like weezer but theirs is not nearly as great
Weezer's problem with covers is they try to replicate the original...more of a tribute band than a cover.
@@jonathanross149 yea this.
oh you listened to ninja sex party's version then?
it's funny how James Canty, who has a CV that stacks up against most in guitar music post 1960, radiates pure 'dad who won a contest' energy here
JD is the backbone of all types of greats. The man.
Ted Leo just seems like the nicest guy ever
I am only hearing this for the first time today. Excellent cover.
It makes it so much better when the band actually likes and knows the song.
2007-2012 was the golden age of indie rock
Keep coming back for drums.
Matthew H Been coming back to this vid for a few years now. It’s just too good..other covers simply don’t have the live rawness...drums certainly included!!
Same here, dude!
do check out more ted leo tho
100%. Just nails that syncopated hi-hat rhythm.
@@martinroach608 Absolutely. Sometimes I wonder how good it could have been if they had more time to practice and record, but then it might have lost some of the magic...
This is actually a damn good cover of this song
Ted Leo doesn't half ass anything when it comes to him playing music.
@@mrjehupitchfork As he said, this was his favorite song when he was young. No way was not going to give it his best.
Never heard of these guys, im here chere checking out the covers because Low were here. This is a bloody top shelf effort. The drums are perfect and the Pharmacists pass muster. Hats off blokes.
drums are on point. drummer has a cool pod called bassists and drummers. All Hail Marty Key - Young Pioneers and of course JD Canty on the guitar.
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU'RE FROM LONDON
the guitar's just so damn crunchy that every time I hear Ted start strumming real hard before the bridge I just wanna stand up and scream
Holy drummer!?!?!. That sounds so hard to play. Killer cover.
maybe the best AV Club cover ever?
SpookyApparition For me, still Shake It Off, but this is one I keep coming back to.

just what i needed
I'd say it's a toss up between this and Gwars - get outta my dreams. It's hard to compare greatness
The cars just what I needed by the bluegrass band is impressive
Fucking great drumming
Living With The Living (2007) is the moment when this band should have gone huge. Ted was punk rock, when everybody was afraid of punk rock. Then came 2008, financial crash and all sorts of BS that Ted was warning us about.
Start with: Sons Of Cain, Army Bound
Finish with: Tora And The Toradeore, C.I.A.
Check out The Both album (2013), Ted Leo & Aimee Mann, 2 great talents with something to say.
This drummer is sick
incredible cover. essence of the song, and the essence of the pharmacists.
Asbury Lanes August 18th
im 42 and will never stop watching this
Rachel Bailey 40 and same.
same but 38
44 and I concur
32 and won't stop either
16 over here and I love this
Thanks to his dad and thanks to my dad for showing us really good music. They made us.
Please remember that these guys have truly seen the test of time. Ted and the Pharmacists were originally a band that favored the sounds of Thin Lizzy, and still do, Chris Wilson is one of my favorite drummers. We sometimes talked about the sacrifices musicians make in spite of their personal relationships. My favorite album is called Biomusicology. I have personally seen SO MANY BANDS, including American Princes dissolve because they have "grown up." Oh and to those guys that were legacy students because of your parents... yes, you know who you are Princes.
Finally, Lucas Hunsicker, we were pals through junior high and then the rest of our lives.
Brilliant cover of a brilliant tune! Gotta say, closed my eyes and it was Joe Jackson covering. And I mean that as a high complement!
This is the best cover of the song
I can’t get enough of this! Well done!
One of my favorites covering my favorite!
Ohhhhhh so good...only took me 10 years to see it
Can't believe it's been so long ago since they did this .
There's just something about Chris on the drums and the way this is recorded. It's so rad.
right?
I still think this is the best cover performance Ive ever seen.
can't believe this was over 10 years ago
I think that's my favorite song.
No doubt! Tough beat and he nailed it!
Thank you so much for reuploading this!!!
This is so damn good.
so beautiful
Fantastic.
Could NOT remember the name of this super collection. Thanks AV Club, and Ted Leo for leading me back. 🎯
Really good cover!!!!
Great!
Really nice.. I had't heard of him before, but sounds great, and a little likeJoe Jackson.
p2curtis Joe Jackson...now that is a name I haven't heard in a while..
let's go down that youtube rabbit hole!
This is great.
Goddamn this cover is so good!
Great performance!
That was so Cool. This is my favorite song as well..
I love TFF and this is a great cover. I listen to it often.
Great cover. I liked that.
man they nailed it. ever hear is cover of paul's "back seat of my car" he did for a best show wfmu comp. its stellar. and available
WOW!!!
This is very, very good.
I'm a very impossible to please person when it comes to TFF covers, but this is pretty great.
Damn, this is prime stuff.
This is wicked good indeed. And nary a synth to be found.
fucking awesome.
my favorite version of the song
groovy
This is fuckin awesome
This should have far more views when compared to some of the other Undercover videos
00:17 I love this riff so much. Anyone know the track?
Come to think of it, it's quite a Ted Leo-ish song chords wise. Anyhow, one of my favorite non-conformist punk bands covering one of my favorite non-conformist pop bnands is a treat.
Great cover from Steg!
this is one of the better jobs anyone did
heck yeah Marty!
that drummer!
Best cover out there... looked and looked this is it. Weezer's cover pales in comparison.
this drum beat... it's hard as fuck to do!!
It's really not, but it sounds killer.
@@BKRockwell It's relative buddy.
@@BKRockwell It is. Its the Purdie Shuffle and the trick is to not to mess it up, is super easy to lose one beat.
@@jacquesmesrine8031 Speak for yourself. And 'the trick is to not mess it up', eh? Totally different from every other kind of drumming then.
I'm not trying to have an internet pissing contest about drumming. I concede my blanket statement that it's not difficult was as poor a generalization as the original statement that it's really hard. Regardless, I find it fun as fuck to play and I think the beat is super tasteful.
@@BKRockwell guess we'll have to wait for your video playing this
1:07 yes
Leo really did his homework on this
well it is his favorite song!
ted leo incl pharmacists fuckin kick ass
His favorite song, my favorite cover version of that song.
My friends say, "All Ted Leo songs all sound alike." I say, "So?"
Fucking loved this
Just great!!!
Wooow i'm a big fan of TFF. But this is the way we should cover a song!!
Just as good if not better
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wonder why the mixer panned the guitars backwards? Are their amps cross-room?
That's some subtle product placement at 0:40....
😄
Iirc this won for season 1, right?
Not bad!
Is this a great cover of Tears For Fears, or the greatest cover of Tears For Fears?
Drummer rules
The drummers MDC shirt in this setting makes me laugh
Me, too!
Who do you guys think sponsored this ?
McDonald's?
JG Wentworth & Associates???
I never knew Waldo from where’s Waldo played guitar (IK he’s Wally for some of y’all)
13...
drums are loud. dig this
1:06 if you’re impatient
1:05
Yeah, man! Goode shite
Drummer is wearing Millions of Dead Cops T-shirt.
Get this guy doing some Joe Jackson covers! Great job tho
It was the first one, and only good one.
7/10 decent
That sad bored look is the look on the face of a drummer who is covering a drum machine...
Grizzly Adams rules.
- Steven Universe comments pending -
Not a fan of that song but that cover kicked ass
