<\/div>\n

Blondie<\/a> have performed many covers throughout the years, including the Doors\u2019 \u201cBreak On Through (To the Other Side)\u201d, the Beatles\u2019 \u201cPlease Please Me\u201d and their Number One hit \u201cThe Tide is High,\u201d originally recorded by the Paragons. However, since kicking off their co-headlining tour<\/a> with Elvis Costello and the Imposters this week, they\u2019ve added an unexpected one to their setlist: Lil Nas X<\/a>\u2019s \u201cOld Town Road.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band gives the mega-hit a punk makeover, with Debbie Harry<\/a>\u2019s sultry, syrupy vocals dragging out the chorus to create a haunted western vibe. \u201cCan\u2019t nobody tell me nothin\u2019\/ You can\u2019t tell me nothin,’\u201d she sings. The video above is from Tuesday night\u2019s show in Boston, but the band has covered \u201cOld Town Road\u201d since their co-headlining jaunt launched last week.<\/p>\n

Blondie and Costello will play New York\u2019s historic Forest Hills Stadium tonight. Their joint tour continues throughout the summer, stopping at Las Vegas\u2019 Pearl Theater at the Palms on August 1st and Los Angeles\u2019 Greek Theater on August 5th. The tour concludes in Seattle on August 10th.<\/p>\n

\u201cOld Town Road\u201d has been dominating the charts for months, recently regaining<\/a> the Number One spot on the Rolling Stone<\/em> Top 100 Songs Chart. With a remix of the song featuring Billy Ray Cyrus released in April and a second remix<\/a> featuring Mason Ramsey and Young Thug released earlier this month, the song has been unbeatable. \u201cI planned on using the entire summer to study,\u201d Lil Nas X casually told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> earlier this summer. \u201cBut I got bored one day and made this song.\u201d<\/p>\n
