For his Record Club series, Beck gathers friends together to cover an entire album in a day, then posts the results to his website. So far, the Record Club choices have come from canonical or at least critically respected artists: the Velvet Underground, Skip Spence, INXS, Leonard Cohen.

But now Beck and friends have made their first batshit-ass crazy selection: Live at the Acropolis, the 1993 album from mustachioed Greek new age composer Yanni. As previously reported, Beck has enlisted Thurston Moore and Tortoise in his latest Record Club endeavor. (There's something weirdly appropriate about the idea of Tortoise covering Yanni.)

The first track, "Santorini", is up now, with a new track to be posted every week on Beck's website throughout the summer. Tortoise don't appear on "Santorini"; they won't show up until later in the album. Beck's website reports that "several studio musician heavyweights were brought in to read a heavily doctored score with interpolations of everything from Stravinsky to Shania Twain (look for others)."

While that's happening, Beck runs around making noise and Thurston improvises new lyrics that, per Beck's website, "give the track an added urgency and pathos." And since you asked, here's a sampling of those new lyrics: "Roasted pigs! Roasted pigs! Oinkin' oinkin' oinkin' to the night sky! Orange orange disaster!"

Below, you can watch Beck, Thurston, and friends take on "Santorini". For comparison's sake, we've also posted a video of the original-- part of a Yanni concert special that ran over and over on PBS in the mid 90s. It's going to be a weird summer.
