Devin Townsend has revealed he’s recorded a cover of Vengaboys hit We Like To Party!.
Townsend says he’s a fan of cheesy Euro dance tunes – particularly the work of Aqua and Vengaboys.
And he has recorded a version of We Like to Party! (The Vengabus) with his Casualties Of Cool bandmate Che Aimee Dorval and long-time collaborator Anneke Van Giersbergen.
But the “destructive” cover version won’t be released until Groovilicious Records grant him the rights to do so.
Townsend tells TeamRock Radio: “I love Barbie Girl by Aqua. Vengaboys, We Like To Party, I remember when I heard that song it made me cry, I liked it so much.
“I recently did a version of it with both Che and Anneke but I can’t release it yet because we can’t get the rights for it.
“At the end it’s really destructive, as you would imagine.”
