The latest entrant into the “covering Britney Spears” derby: The All-American Rejects, who bring a tiny toy accordion, Tyson Ritter’s fantastic bone structure, and a bit of the Turtles’ “Happy Together” to “Womanizer.” The whole thing has a “Fountains Of Wayne Do ‘…Baby One More Time’” feel to it, largely due to the squeezebox, and it’s actually… pretty good, maybe somewhere right in between Lily Allen and Ladyhawke on the “‘Womanizer’ covers” scale.

When did All American Rejects become O’Death?
Ha. That’s probably the best song I’ve ever heard them do.
One of my favorites was when fall out boy mixed Womanizer with I Don’t Care on Jimmy Kimmel.
I’m diggin the beer bottle “tink” noise in the 2nd verse there…
I’ll keep this my dirty little secret.
This band gives me the douche chills.
guhguhguhGHEY.
Guy’s bones are freakish. He looks like Michael Jackson, right down to the remarkably fake-looking facial hair.
The cover is actually really good, even if the vocals are hilarious over-emoted, but it gets kind of boring in a way the original never does.
This was totally cute — then again I’m actually rooting for AAR and their big-time mainstream success. And goodness, if O’Death were this charming and … tidy, I’d perhaps understand their bloody inexplicable popularity.
