Hard to know which bit of this is most dispiriting.The synchronised pogo-ing during the chorus? The bow-legged crotch-thrusting at 0.56? The way they sing the whole thing like they're auditioning for The Voice? The fact you just know they're going to do that one-hand steering wheel move when it gets to the "head while I'm driving" line. Warning: after listening to this you may never want to listen to Kings Of Leon, or have sex, ever again.
