GWAR Covers ‘Barbie’ HIt, “I’m Just Ken,” With “We’re Just GWAR”

Following a seven-year hiatus, the A.V. Club has just revived its ongoing covers song series, A.V. Undercover. And they picked one hell of a way to relaunch their show, as costumed metal legends GWAR came through and surprisingly – and awesomely – covered the Grammy and Oscar-nominated Barbie song, “I’m Just Ken,” reworking it as “We’re Just GWAR.” The concept of A.V. Undercover is simple, with each season beginning with a list of 25 songs that each visiting band can choose to cover. Once a song gets played, it gets crossed off the list, so the later a band appears in the season, there will be fewer songs for them to choose from. GWAR’s singer Blöthar the Berserker said the band’s cover choice came from his own “prurient interest” in Ryan Gosling, before holding up a decapitated Barbie head during the raucous performance.
