The Interrupters - Bad Guy (Billie Eilish cover)

Live from Ship-Rec Studios in Los Angeles, CA.
Featured in The Umbrella Academy Episode S2:E5 Valhalla

We were covering Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” while on tour all summer. When we had the chance to do this session at Ship-Rec Studios in Los Angeles we thought it would be the perfect song because it’s so fun to play live! We are big fans of Billie and Finneas’ songwriting... What a breath of fresh air for music! Here it is captured live in one take, we hope we did it justice.
XOXO

LYRICS
White shirt now red, my bloody nose
Sleeping, you're on your tippy toes
Creeping around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal
Bruises, on both my knees for you
Don't say thank you or please
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul? So cynical
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the bad guy
I like it when you take control
Even if you know that you don't
Own me, I'll let you play the role
I'll be your animal
My mommy likes to sing along with me
But she won't sing this song
If she reads all the lyrics
She'll pity the men I know
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the bad guy,

[ObeyRoastMan]

Umbrella Academy soundtrack is always FIRE. Love this version of the song

[rcastillo]

Bro when the song started in the Umbrella Academy and shit started to go down with Five and Lila, I was like "no freaking way... they really be killing it with the music again!"
To me, this scene was the "Don't Stop Me Now" from the first season:)

[oceane_chin]

I couldn't focus on Five's fight scene because of this song. I love this cover! And ohh I thought I was listening to a guy LOL. 😆

[bintangdaffa]

Five is badass when fighting Lila with this song

[AKtrailrunner]

I'm an old guy (56) who grew up on the two tone movement, loving The Specials, The Selector, Madness, Bad Manners. I even have a skanking Rudy tat on my arm. This cover harkens back to those days, fantastic! Heard the song in TUA an was like holy shit!

[CallumKray]

I love the nod to Madness... I've fallen deeply in love with this band...

My life will never be the same..

[coolmatrix]

Trombone playing just elevated this song even more. 😭😭😭😭😍

[EpoxyMuffin]

Let's face it: Billie just re-packaged "We are Number One" and sold it back to us. Clever girl.

[RPRosen-kifk]

I LOVE seeing you guys put your own spin & re-invent a song like this! The TROMBONE was the ... icing on the cake.

[stepanserdyuk]

You guys really owned the song. Great job!

[ep.artwork]

I like it when kevin says "one step beyond" respect to Madness

[Beaches_south_of_L.A.]

These guys are great musicians. Trombone guy is badass. The drummer shreds. It's an awesome band!

[honeybrew]

I saw them in cologne as an opening act for green day. The whole crowd was like "wft who's this?" But then they started playing. Everyone loved it and started going crazy. I'm a fan since this day.

[maxximumb]

This arrangement gives the song a real ska vibe. Love this almost as much as the original. Great work.

[alexrod]

Saw them live in Portland when they opened for Sum 41. Awesome band!

[kevinconnor]

I have no idea what the Umbrella Academy is, but anything that exposes people to great music is good by me. You guys should check out their other stuff. A lot of it has this second-wave ska feel. It's really great.

Also, love the Madness reference by the guitar player!

[KyleMilewski]

I've listened to this song probably 50 times, and only now caught Kevin's reference to Madness' song at the end, very sneaky. Love it.

[aprilwall]

Honestly the umbrella academy might be the best scored TV shows of all time

[erykrothaar]

Super kapela Punkowa z Gdyni 😊 Miłe wspomnienia z lat 80 jak przyjeżdżałem z Wrocławia do Gdyni na randki z super dziewczyną (Magda 😁) i przy okazji na koncerty jej znajomych z "Apteki"😊 Punk's&Oi! Dolny Śląsk 😎

[Peopleofthesun]

This is actually better than the original
