It’s week four of Beck’s Record Club’s full-album cover of INXS 1987 smash Kick, which means it’s time for the disc’s monster hit: “Need You Tonight.” For this cut, Beck and his cohorts — St. Vincent, Liars and Os Mutantes — give the No. 1 hit a dark, slinky makeover, relying mainly on bass and percussion, only touching briefly on the song’s signature guitar riff. St. Vincent’s Annie Clark and Liars’ Angus Andrew handle vocals. (Links to the previous covers after the jump.)
