Erstwhile My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has unearthed an old cover of the Carpenters' "Superstar," dating back to the recording sessions for the band's 2006 LP The Black Parade. On Twitter, Way explained that he used to sing Carpenters songs as vocal warm-ups, and MCR actually considered including "Superstar" on the album but opted to leave it off because "we already had too many tracks." Check out Way's tweets and listen to the cover below.
Thanks for all the kind words- I'm just happy you get enjoyment out of it. It was a pleasure to sing. I ❤️u Karen Carpenter
