On August 2, the Bird and the Bee—the duo of singer Inara George and multi-instrumentalist Greg Kurstin—will release the covers album Interpreting the Masters Volume 2: A Tribute to Van Halen. They have now shared their take on “Hot for Teacher,” featuring vocals from Beck. “My name is Dr. Goodbody,” he says in the intro. “We’ll be reviewing the text from Moby Dick, so please turn now to… page 69.” Give it a listen below.
The Bird and the Bee’s new album is the second volume of their covers series; the previous installment took on the work of Hall and Oates. A new Beck album, titled Hyperspace, was announced earlier this year.
