Violent Femmes Cover

edited November -1 in OK Go
Does anyone know the name of the Violent Femmes song they've been covering lately?

Comments

  • I asked that in the LJ community, but got no answer. I'd love to know!
  • When I saw them they did "Prove My Love." I'm looking for a copy of that cover, btw, if anyone has it...
  • All I remember(aside from Damian climbing on things and rolling around on stage) is that he sings about climbing a mountain....I don't know if that helps at all. I hope it does!
  • As a follow-up, and to be completely presumptuous, if you don't have the first Violent Femmes album I'd bet you'd really enjoy it! And maybe some Elvis Costello and Jonathan Richman too, if you don't have any. I generally don't like suggesting music, and I don't want to turn this into a music suggestion thread or anything, but it occurs to me that some of ya'll might just not have had to opportunity to hear some of the more foundational bands that you'd probably really like.
  • Thanks a lot. My sister will be very glad that I found this out for her.

    And by the way, I love Elvis Costello.

    Sweet! Then at least I'm not totally off base.

    I think it's very appropriate, since OK Go has covered Mr. Costello as well.

    And oooh, I adore "Prove My Love." I find myself humming "What do I have to do? What do I have to do?" all the time. smile.gif I hope they do it when I see them next!
  • I. love. early. violent femmes.


    i still think OK Go should cover "Sucked Out" by Superdrag.
