Cat Burns has unveiled a cover of the classic Wheatus pop punk track ‘Teenage Dirtbag’. The original version was released in June of 2000.
For her rendition, Cat transforms the song into a bigger, vocal-driven cut that is quite explosive. While the pop punk element is still in the DNA of the tune, this makeover gives it a larger than life feel, with Burns pretty much owning the track.
Regarding the track, Cat Burns said:
“‘Teenage Dirtbag’ has always felt like a bit of a queer anthem to me, even if it wasn’t meant to be – I love that I didn’t have to change a single lyric. Watching this version get so much love on tour has been amazing. It’s a song for all the misfits, and I’ve put my own unapologetic spin on it. Same attitude, but with a vibe that’s true to my story.”
