the greatest cover i have ever heard

April 27th, 2009 by kevin

thanks to todd henry for turning me onto this gem. those are the flaming lips playing with wayne’s cousin’s band.

in the ‘how old can you feel?’ category, my friend mel never heard this song before.

those of you born before 1986 should have no trouble identifying it.

    You forgot to mention that “Do you Realize” is now the state rock song of Oklahoma over the objections of a few stuffed shirts.

    yeah, some guy didn’t like the fact that michael showed up at the capital wearing a hammer and sickle t-shirt. get a sense of humor already … or at least a more humane economic philosophy.

    word! the problem with my generation is we don’t listen to the radio and we’re too drunk to absorb sounds when we go out. i am in complete control of the sounds i hear. i guess i just haven’t been very encouraging when it comes to Madonna. i might be alone in this vein of thinking…
