Más de 100 músicos en una versión de "Teenage Dirtbag" de Wheatus

Un total de ciento seis músicos y cantantes se unen para interpretar el exitoso tema "Teenage Dirtbag" de la banda Wheatus después de que la banda hiciera un llamamiento a sus fans mediante las redes sociales. La noticia coincide casi con el reto superado por su bajista, que interpretó ciento cincuenta temas de Weezer en una misma sesión.

Wheatus hicieron una llamada a sus fans confinados en sus casas para que participaran en el desafío #Quaranteenagedirtbag, pidiéndoles que enviaran vídeos de ellos tocando y cantando su exitoso tema "Teenage Dirtbag".

EDIT: SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED • In case you didn’t see it, we’re inviting all the musicians and singers out there to join together in the #quaranteenagedirtbag challenge! • SO. Here's what you have to do: • 🔹Record a video of yourself playing or singing along to Teenage Dirtbag. • Here are the rules: • 🔹You have to play along to our actual song, so that everyone keeps to the same key and timing, BUT: • 🔹Try and only get the audio of you in the video, not our song. We're interested in hearing YOU, not us! (You can achieve this by having our recording playing in headphones so the video doesn't pick it up - swipe this image to see examples of both an instrument and vocal submission to see how it’ll look if you do it right) • 🔹You can play any instrument for this! • 🔹Harmonies are welcome! • 🔹You do NOT have to sing and play at the same time! And in fact, it'll be easier for us to mix it if you don't sing and play at the same time. If you do want to submit vocals and instrument, just record two separate videos and send them both. • 🔹You don't have to play the parts exactly as they are on the original. Especially if you play an instrument that isn't in a traditional rock band. Got a hankering for a tasty bass lick? Go for it? You play a trumpet and you wanna bust a trumpet solo? Do it! Not much of a singer but you're a star beatboxer? Go on then! • • Ask here if you have any questions, or look through our stories (which are also saved to the Quarantine highlights) to see if we’ve already answered your question!

Quaranteenage Dirtbag is now live on YouTube! (Link in bio!) We got 106 submissions, from 16 different countries. You sent us over 5 hours of video that we had to go through, extract the audio, compile it into the song, and then assemble one big video to accompany it. The file was so big that our computer crashed when we tried to export it. This project started life as a fun little thing to do during lockdown. But you took our little idea and ran with it. Thank you. We hope you love this video as much as we do. Love always, Your friends in Wheatus.

Mientras tanto, el actual bajista de Wheatus, Matthew Milligan, demostró sus habilidades en su segundo intento tocando todas las canciones de Weezer lanzadas en un maratón de vídeo en directo.
