The Wrong Trousers

I came across this viral video months ago and was fascinated, like most people, with the idea of busking with a harp. The teen trio call themselves The Wrong Trousers, and a visit to their MySpace page should convince you that they are no mere novelty act. They've just produced a new album that is absolutely charming; it is distributed by CD Baby (a pretty decent business), and it looks like they will already have to print more.

Charming is the perfect word for these kids. It's one of the best covers of that dopey song I've heard. Thanks...

People did covers of that song?

Yup. It was originally recorded by the band Camera Club. The Buggles (or Ruggles?) then did it, as did the band the Presidents of the United States much later.

I always thought the Buggles did the one and only.
