Discuss: The Violent Femmes "I Hate the President" should be covered

[9119495]

by some modern day kick ass band and repopularized by radio play and internet distribution.


"I hate the T.V.,

I hate the President..."

[KamaAina]

1. How about a whole album's worth of modern-day kick-ass bands?

sort of like the "Louie, Louie" album?

2. A coordinated multiple-genre release of covers by Pink, Dixie Chicks and

Dre.

3. The Femmes are still together, I believe

They came out with an album a few years ago, and I saw them on Conan O'Brien. Terrifically fun band. I especially enjoy their covers of hymns.

4. There's a bunch of good old songs that should be "covered"

... and in some cases with updated lyrics.

From the Thompson Twins:
Judy Do - (updated to talk about Judith Miller)
Don't Mess with Dr. Dream - (updated to be "Don't Mess with Dr. Dean!")

From Gordon Lightfoot:
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - (updated to be "Talk to Sibel Edmonds, Fitzgerald!")

C.C.C.P.:
"American Soviet" (updated to reflect how we're becoming more totalitarian here)

Sound of Music Soundtrack:
"How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?" - (updated to be about Maria Cantwell)

Gil Scott Heron:
"Work For Peace" - (Updated verses to be about Bush Jr. instead of Bush Sr.)

5. wow cali!

I saw your sig pic and realized I never had seen Sibel. I have heard her interviewed multiple times, but never watch TV news and have never seen her. She's beautiful too??? wow!

She needs a song other than Gordon Lightfoot I think.
Maybe Madonna's, "Material Evidence Girl"

Maria Cantwell needs to be solved -so true!
