From the epic-ness of Meat Loaf to the soaring power of a musical theatre ballad, nothing is off limits to them. Their album ‘A Whole New Wurst’ consists entirely of Disney classics with their unique punk rock twist, and it became an instant success upon its release. Their revivals even consist of children’s TV themes from the Flintstones to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, giving hilarious remakes and epic covers to many songs we know and cherish.
