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.
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.
@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…
Johnny Cash, covering Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

That explanation is pure science. I’m blinded.

One of my faves.

There’s something just charming about JoCo’s cover Sir Mix A Lot
Anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmies. “I’ll be there” is pretty great, same with “All Out of Love”.
