In one of the weirder covers of the year so far, De Novo Dahl have just turned in their version of the classic Speed Racer theme song. The original is full of just about as much pep as De Novo Dahl’s sugar-coated new record Move Every Muscle…, so it makes sense.

As the story goes, Warner approaced DND about covering the song for possible use in the movie. They had two days to record the track and it made it all the way to the Wachowski brothers before being turned down. Now they’re releasing it exclusively on iTunes today.

And let’s not forget: De Novo Dahl will be playing for FREE in Lexington at CD Central’s July 4th party downtown. The Nudie suits will have been heat-tested previously in the fires of Bonnaroo’s lineup. Looks like a fun summer for us and them.
