There are two of these posts above, because I no doubt deserve to be called names lots, and because I didn’t realize the 1st post had taken, and because I’m an asshole.
@conandlibrarian Me First and the Gimme Gimme can always be counted on for a good time although I sometimes feel like some of their songs would be nice at a slightly lower tempo
@daveinwarsh shit. I thought of one more great cover.
Vanilla Fudge, the band copied later by other bands for their great song intros & lead-ins, did a Supreme’s song. You Keep Me Hanging On…
Postmodern Jukebox in general entertains me. When I was in Florida last year they were playing a club in Pensacola and my fiancee and I are going to go, but wound up being too lazy after being on the beach all day. I regret not going to that show. They’ll be touring this fall but nowhere really close to me.

Another Ted cover hit
7am right now, all my brain can recover are big hit, big name stuff.
Here is one I could listen to in perpetuity.

That explanation is pure science. I’m blinded.
Anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmies. “I’ll be there” is pretty great, same with “All Out of Love”.
