Wet Leg Cover The Cardigans' 'My Favourite Game' for Deutsche Telekom Campaign

British band Wet Leg have covered The Cardigans' 1998 single "My Favourite Game" for German telecom giant Deutsche Telekom's image campaign "NOT A PASSENGER." The ad stars Wet Leg frontwoman Rhian Teasdale, with visuals that pay tribute to The Cardigans' original music video. According to Stereogum, there are currently no plans to give the cover an official release.

What the campaign is about

Deutsche Telekom has framed "NOT A PASSENGER" as a call to action, saying its aim is to encourage Gen Z to reclaim agency and identity in an environment of constant information and expectation overload.

The ad centers on Teasdale, backed by Wet Leg's re-recorded version of "My Favourite Game." The original track appeared on The Cardigans' 1998 record and remains one of the Swedish band's best-known singles; its music video, known for its road and driving imagery, is the visual reference point for this new campaign.

No release plans for the cover

Stereogum notes that Wet Leg's cover has not been set up as a standalone single release — for now, it exists only within the campaign's video. Neither the brand nor the band has announced any plans for a streaming or physical release.
