AlexH. Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 "Like a Morricone-style dirge recorded by The Mamas and The Papas, Violent Femmes’ cover of Gnarls Barkley’s infamous “Crazy” is like nothing you’ve heard from the legendary alt-rock trio before. Their oft-imitated folk-punk sound is flavored with surf-rock guitar and Theremin, creating a tranquility that is somber and otherworldly. " Listen here Buy here I really like this cover, but enough to spend $10+ on a single? At any rate, it's baby blue vinyl, the B side has the instrumental & acapella, and it comes with a CD.

skumbucket Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 that could be interesting -- although this song has been done to death. retribution for the other cover, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillho Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 i give this a thumbs up, even tempted to buy the blue vinyl (/1000); only ten bucks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamitekid Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'd be into this if there was a different song on the b side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melikecheese Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 This is kinda funny, so Gnarls covers Gone Daddy Gone and then Violent Femmes decide to cover one of their songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
