Sorry, Gwyneth, but I just don’t like Coldplay. Their music, when not actively boring, is downright cloying. Lose the violins.

However, as grating as I found “Viva la Vida” — especially during that summer when it seemed to play five times an hour on every single radio station (Spanish language excluded) — I had to admit there was something catchy buried in there. Apparently, The Dirty Heads, best know for their songs “Lay Me Down” and “Stand Tall,” think so too.

I like this version of “Viva La Vida” better than the original. In fact, I like it a lot.

The Dirty Heads, “Viva La Vida”
