I really enjoy the malevolent hick vocals and the changes to the lyrics; something like "when I'm at the picture show/and I can't get no popcorn/then I take a knife/and I stab a kid..." something close to that, I think. Really funny stuff.

This reminded me of the Rocket From The Tombs "satisfaction" from 'the day the earth met...' collection. I know it's only about 20 seconds long but god does it kick some ass!

you guys will probably think this is really lame but i like the distillers cover of "warriors" by blitz.

this may not go over well here, but i understand that Medeski Martin and Wood have now added like 4 PJ Harvey covers to their set...very strange indeed.

melvins - rocket reducer #62 (rama lama fa fa fa) - MC5
melvins - lexicon devil - germs
melvins - candy-o -the cars

any cover the melvins do

i love the way when the melvins cover a song they are forthwith the new owners of that song

and the rocket from the tombs version of raw power.....bloody awesome

y'all are missing some of the bestest ever.

1. helmet/army of me/bjork (trust me, it owns.)
2. rage against the machine/maggie's farm/bob dylan (no matter what you think about RATM, this is flat-out awesome)
3. local h/fuck yeah, that wide/primal scream (leave it to the H to turn this into a 10-minute jam)
4. giddy motors/eisbar/grauzen
5. manic street preachers/pennyroyal tea/nirvana
6. Mindless self indulgence/bring the pain/method man (this has to be one of the ballsiest and most abstract covers i've ever heard)

and the granddaddy of all covers...........

dinosaur jr/just like heaven/the cure - if you've never heard it, it's worth it just to hear what j. mascis does to this otherwise homosexual anthem.

Mule - To Love Somebody - Bee Gee's

this one is the best. ever. stop thread.

Also, their cover of Britney Spears' Toxic. Brilliant.

Seconded.

Jello Biafra with D.O.A. - We Gotta Get Outta This Place
7 Seconds - Ninety-Nine Red Balloons
Fuddge Tunnel - Sunshine of your Love
Nomeansno - Beat on the Brat

By the way, I just got that new one by Jello and the Melvins, having never- no, never - heard a Melvins album before. Any reccomendations on which to get next - as in which is the most likely to make me poo in my pants and my head fall off?
