The A.V. Club's Undercover series is in full-swing for the holiday season, as groups are invited into the round room to cover holiday songs of their choice. The most recent guests were the Walkmen, who covered the shit out of Lindsey Buckingham's "Holiday Road." The Walkmen do it as a rockabilly send up, and it totally works. It's pretty fun to hear Hamilton Leithauser sing about St. Nick and the like. The Walkmen are consummate professionals: some of them even wear Santa Claus hats.
Lisbon is out now, and it is great.
I look at this and think, "Wait -- the Walkmen are doing the National Lampoon's Vacation song?"
