Season 3 of 'Sex Education' Features a Cover of "Fuck the Pain Away" by Peaches

Sex Education's third season is out today, and as well as featuring all the usual sexual shenanigans, the British teen comedy contains a surprising piece of Canadian music content: an elaborate choral version of "Fuck the Pain Away" by Peaches.

The cover of the 2000 electroclash hit appears close to the beginning of the new season's second episode. It starts as a very collegiate a cappella cover before turning into a full-band rendition complete with drums, guitars, synthesizer and horns. The whole thing is about a minute long and, naturally, finds the students singing all sorts of things that are totally inappropriate for a school. (No spoilers, but the song reappears at a key moment later in the season.)

The cover has been ripped to YouTube and can be watched below. If you haven't seen Sex Education, now's the time to start catching up.
