Under the Covers is a cover album by American comedy band Ninja Sex Party, backed by Tupper Ware Remix Party. The concept for the album and title were revealed on July 28th, 2015,[1] and the album released on March 4, 2016.[2] Unlike their previous albums, Under the Covers is composed only of covers of songs from the 1970s and 1980s and strays from the duo's traditional comedic style.
On February 23, 2016, a music video was released for their cover of "Take On Me"; the video for their cover of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" was released one week later, on March 1, 2016.
