ArkellesUniversal Music Canada

Even if you have a total hate-on for Lana Del Rey -- and a lot of folks do -- deep down there's some part of you that finds her insta-hit 'Video Games' totally earwormy. C'mon, admit it. So naturally the song is going to get its fair share of covers. Bombay Bicycle Club reworked the dreamy Del Rey staple and now Toronto rockers Arkells have taken on the tune.

The boys have stripped the song of its sweeping embellishments in favour of a straight-ahead acoustic take. This is sure to make the girls down at the coffee house swoon, check it out below.
