Vampire Weekend Covers Cheryl Cole’s “Fight For This Love” on BBC’s Radio 1 Live Lounge

It’s time for that age old tradition again: Pop star records amazing pop song, indie artist covers said pop song during BBC’s Radio 1 Live Lounge, indie fans are allowed to listen to something popular, pop fans are allowed to listen to something that doesn’t exclusively contain synthesizers, indie and pop fans rejoice and come together as one.

EVERYBODY WINS.

Here we have Vampire Weekend putting their ska-tinged spin on Cheryl Cole‘s sublime 2009 debut single “Fight For This Love” on today’s Radio 1 Live Lounge.

It’s decent and all (a bit dull/flat in my opinion), but here’s one that’s even better:

The Sugababes, covering Florence + The Machine‘s “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up).” Yes, I realize it’s the reverse condition (pop covering indie). Doesn’t matter–SAME RULES APPLY!

Now that’s a tune.
