"Weird Al" Yankovic unveiled a blistering, accordion-tinged cover of the RAMONES' 'Beat on the Brat.'
The track will appear on the upcoming collection, Dr. Demento Covered in Punk, which celebrates the career of radio personality and novelty song maestro, Dr. Demento.
The 'Beat on the Brat' cover finds "Weird Al" teaming with punk supergroup, OSAKA POPSTAR, whose singer, John Cafiero, produced and curated Covered in Punk.
The arrangement boasts a barrage of guitars, over which "Weird Al" peppers in the occasional accordion.
