Nigerian singer Temi Dollface's video for "Teenage Dirtbag" may not feature a baby-faced Jason Biggs acting out a watered-down version of American Pie, but it's great nonetheless. The video is part of a series called "The White Room" developed by the This Is Africa YouTube channel: every few months, This Is Africa invites an African artist to perform a cover of one of his or her favorite pop songs. There are only three rules: it must be done in a white room, and it must be down in one take with one shot. Dollface kills it with her rendition of "Teenage Dirtbag," swapping the gender, replacing "Iron Maiden" with "Stevie Wonder," and giving the pop-rock hit a big dollop of soul. Wheatus would definitely approve. [h/t Cooper Fleishman]
