The concept of the show is that each season, a list of 25 songs is compiled. Bands are then invited to choose a song to cover.[2] Once a song has been played, it gets crossed off the list. The later a band comes on, the fewer songs they have to choose from. The first season, The A.V. Club staff picked the songs.[3] The remaining seasons, readers of The A.V. Club voted for them.[4] At the end of a season, there was an online vote for the favorite video.[5]

In between season, there were mini seasons of Holiday Undercover (where each artist chose a song with a holiday theme)[6][7] and Summer Break,[8] where artists covered "songs having to do with summer".[9]

In 2010, NPR selected "Wye Oak Covers The Kinks" as one of "Five Great Cover Songs From 2010 (So Far)".[10] It was a 2011 Honoree for a Webby.[11]

All episodes have since been deleted from YouTube.
