"One Week" by The Lounge-O-Leers

 

Happy posthumous birthday to prolific Japanese film maker Akira Kurosawa!

In his honor, here are The Lounge-O-Leers -- the New York City duo who are shoddy to the point of awesomeness -- with their cover of Barenaked Ladies' 1998 bouncy anatomy of an argument "One Week."

Like Kurosawa I make mad films... okay, I don't make films, but if I did they'd have a samurai.

Despite flubbing the line about Sailor Moon, which is the best quip in the entire song, IMO,,,, this version is still endearing in its intentional wholesome mediocrity.

For another Barenaked Ladies cover, Cornbread Red's version of "The Old Apartment" can be found here.
