Recently, Blink-182 released California, the band’s first album without former frontman and current UFO hunter Tom Delonge.
Despite the uneasy “friendly divorce” with Delonge, the band, now fronted by Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba, have kept it light and humorous during the album’s rollout.
Fans’ first taste of the new album came as a 17-second joke song titled “Built This Pool”. While that song was quickly followed by actual first single “Bored to Death,” the band’s first number-one single in 12 years, the trio still had one more joke up their (tattoo) sleeves.
Today, the band released a short video for California’s other joke song, “Brohemian Rhapsody.” It stars none other than Mumford and Sons getting their inner pop-punk on as they “jam” out and impersonate Blink. It’s worth a watch just to see Marcus Mumford with a Mark Hoppus-styled haircut.
