Hot Chip have been covering Bruce Springsteen‘s Born in the U.S.A. classic ”Dancing in the Dark” at recent concerts. Today, they’ve shared a video for the studio version. Directed by Keiran Evans, it features live Hot Chip footage on Super 8 from Webster Hall in New York City (look out for a David Byrne cameo), spliced with ’80s TV show clips. The song will appear on a deluxe edition of Why Make Sense?, due out October 24. Watch it below. Update (10/19 9:30 a.m. EST): Listen out around the five-minute mark as the track segues into LCD Soundsystem’s “All My Friends”, which the band also covered at the Webster Hall show. 

Update (10/19 11:22 a.m. EST): Hot Chip have also unveiled a remix of New Order‘s track “Tutti Frutti”, off their recent album Music Complete, via Singularity, a new website collecting various artists’ homages to the seminal group. Check it out above.

Dancing in the Dark is also being released as a four-track EP, including an alternate version of Why Make Sense? track ”Cry for You” and “Huarache Lights” remixes by Soulwax and A/Jus/Ted.
