The Libertines have reacted to an interesting AI version, which sees Homer Simpson sing of one of their biggest tracks.

In a reel shared on Instagram this week, Pete Doherty and Carl Barât can be seen playing pool when a pal starts playing their 2003 single.

The rockers are amused by the take on the song, which Doherty remarks at the instrumental is "just like the record," but once the vocals kick in he asks: "Who’s remixed this then?!” he says, between laughs. “It’s The Simpsons?"

It's not the first AI track to come from the famous Simpsons character, whose voice has been lent to everything from Arctic Monkeys' to Limp Bizkit.
