The Weird Superchunk Viral Video

I’ve always liked Superchunk.  They’re one of those bands that should be much more famous than they are. This week, though, they’re a little more famous–but not in any way that’s really going to help.

Someone in Russia took the visuals for Superchunk’s “Crossed Wires” and dubbed in “Smack My Bitch Up” by the Prodigy.  The result is a viral monster that shows Superchunk but doesn’t offer any of their music.

Weirdly, though, the switched audio works very well.
