Me First And The Gimme Gimmes - Favorite Things
ALBUMS
|
Dolly posted the Spring Rolls Episode on dailymotion.com and I just noticed that she used an instrumental version of "My Favorite Things". It instantly made me think of the punk cover. "My Favorite Things" as you may know was originally from a movie called "The Sound of Music" (1965) - based on a Broadway Musical (1959). The song's been covered many times, I'm just going to concentrate on Me First and the Gimme Gimmes with this entry.
So... Me First and the Gimme Gimmes is an all-cover band based out of San Francisco, California. Like Nouvelle Vague, who interpret all their songs in the lounge style, the Gimmes convert all their covers to punk!
What's interesting about this version is that the intro is a lift from Bad Religion's "Generator" (which is one of my favorite song, I'll include on this post for reference).
I'm also pleased to see that they've released an all-country cover album, "Love Their Country" last year :). I will be using their "Jolene" song eventually.
PS, I will be packing clothes and stuff tonight to leave for Chicago at 6am. So this blog as well as weheartmusic will be vuless, which I'm sure you are all thankful for. I will be bringing along my trusty laptop, so hopefully I can get a connection on the road or the place we're staying.
