This is the second live cover of Outfield’s ’85 hit we’ve enjoyed this month. Ted Leo + Rx played it at Indie Rock Karaoke a few weeks ago. Fortunately no one’s covered those mullets yet.

Drew, try this: http://www.youtubecatcher.com/videotomp3/

Also, the youtubecatcher videotomp3 didn’t work for me. However, vidtomp3.com works great.
