Kid Rock never ceases to amaze me. He’s always, always reinventing himself. With his latest single, All Summer Long, he mashes up the piano arrangement from Warren Zevon’s Werewolves of London and the Guitars and drums from Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Sweet Home Alabama. His lyrics bring back the nostalgia of summers in his youth, and really hit home to millions of people. The music video has seen over 15 million views to date on YouTube, and his single is top charts all around the world. A pop cover-band from Japan has even come out of semi-retirement to remake it, US lyrics and all. Ironically, their single hit iTunes before Kid’s did.

You can buy the CD of the single on Amazon, or the full album Rock N Roll Jesus. Neither are on iTunes as of yet, but you can check out the video above.

BONUS: If you have a hankering for Japanese N-Pop cover bands, here’s Southern All Star’s version of the song on iTunes (and it’s remarkably good):
