Per a note in the video\u2019s description, Wheatus received submissions from 106 contributors from 16 different countries, leading to a delightful mash-up of people performing \u201cTeenage Dirtbag\u201d on everything from drums, guitar, bass and piano to cellos, violins, flutes and even some kitchen appliances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cQuaranteenage Dirtbag\u201d arrives on the heels Wheatus\u2019 own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JNwR6Ey9HhE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">remaking of \u201cTeenage Dirtbag,\u201d<\/a> which was released earlier this month. Brown has spent the past year or so painstakingly recreating Wheatus\u2019 self-titled 2000 debut album because he no longer has the record\u2019s master recordings. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/teenage-dirtbag-wheatus-interview-brendan-brown-974332\/\"><i>Rolling Stone <\/i><\/a>recently reported, <i>Wheatus <\/i>was recorded on a now-defunct format called ADAT, and years ago Brown gave his last personal copy of the masters to his former label, Sony, and hasn\u2019t seen them since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt\u2019s like being made whole again,\u201d Brown said of the project. \u201cIf you make something, and you\u2019re precious about the process, and then you deliver it to the world, and then suddenly it\u2019s inaccessible to you, forever \u2014 that\u2019s kinda shitty. It\u2019s troubling. Feeling whole, one song at a time, is really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3> Popular on Rolling Stone <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/wheatus-teenage-dirtbag-fan-cover-quaranteenage-dirtbag-challenge-991067\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nineties alt-rock outfit Wheatus have shared a gigantic musical collage of fans performing the band\u2019s timeless ode to adolescent angst, \u201cTeenage Dirtbag.\u201d The video is the result of the Quaranteenage Dirtbag Challenge, which Wheatus frontman Brendan Brown announced in March after the band was forced to cancel some 20th-anniversary touring plans due to the coronavirus [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-806877","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-music-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-07-12 18:55:01","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSMT The Mountain","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/806877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=806877"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/806877\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=806877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=806877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=806877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
