Just when you thought they couldn't get any kitschier…Nothing goes together quite like tongue-in-cheek NASCAR references and Whitney Houston, which is why Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.'s cover of the eternally ubiquitous "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" hits the spot in a big way.Perpetually upping the gimmick ante, Joshua Epstein and Daniel Zott recently took to a Denver stage clad in ultra-violet checkered suits and imparted on the crowd their own rendition of the single that has pervaded karaoke bars and drag clubs since it smacked the world across the face for the first time back in 1987. But perhaps even more surprising than the outfits and the song choice is that the cover is actually…not bad.Just for yourself from this (kinda poor quality) fan video:Word is that Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. has actually been playing this cover all along their tour (though, somehow, this was the first time someone got a video of it), so if you want to catch the dudes in all their Technicolor Dreamcoat-ed glory, catch them at one of their tour dates below!9/30 -- Grand Rapids, MI @ Intersection w/ Javelin, The Pharcyde, and Prussia10/12 -- London, UK @ Proud Camden10/13 -- London, UK @ Rough Trade Records10/14 -- London, UK @ KOKO w/ Life in Film10/15 -- Reykjavik, Iceland @ Iceland Airwaves Festival
