Hello fellow kossacks who like my contributions to this Musical Moondays group started by the excellent aigeanta. I'm sorry for my absence last week. Here's my TX apology deep from the heart of TX on tonight's theme.
It was a semi vacation for me but I'm back!
I'll step off of the ska train for a little while since honestly these days I listen to punk rock more, partly because I'm more jaded about everything, but I also like the angry raw energy of it all. I still love Ska and Reggae and will do more of those types of diaries in the future but I'm just being honest.
Now this night is for everyone, even the DFH who normally might get messed with at a punk rock show, but you're all cool with me. This diary involves punk rock covers of all classic songs and everything inbetween so this version of Music Moondays should have wider appeal. So to start things off I will first reveal something a little embarrassing about myself, though not too bad. :P I like Anne Murray, because my Mom used to play Anne Murray songs on trips and sing them to me as a little boy. That stays with you forever, because sound and smell are the closest senses tied to memory they say.
So here's Danny's Song!
You are going to be hearing a lot of the band Me First And The Gimme Gimmes. They are an all cover punk rock band that consists of my favorite punk rock bands on my favorite label Fat Wreck Chords started by Fat Mike of NOFX fame.
But not only them! I have been obsessed with his band lately, but they are so good. they are on this label. here are some great covers from Snuff(a Specials cover!):
I'M JUST LIVING IN A LIFE WITHOUT MEANING!!! ...Oh sorry. :P On to the next one.
Who can't relate to this Gloria Gaynor song?
They can even make me like Tiffany from the 80s!
And even Macy Gray from the early 2000s(love the video and movie).
Now some Cat Stevens from Me First!
And John Denver! (I also like John Denver, another embarrassing fact about me but not too embarrassing)
Johnny Cash!
Runaway
The Ramones belong in here for this cover(but really they belong everywhere):
I'll end with THE SHIRELLES: "Tonight you're in my diary tonight, but will you still love me tomorrow?"
Thank you very much! Goodnight!
breaks guitar and sets it on fire Oh shit! that's my only one! Put it out! :D
