Seriously. This stuff makes me so depressed.

there's only ten songs left unlisted, we need a speculative list. ILX's 10 missing songs from PUNK

hang on for that first instrumental break, then murder me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1AntavzFq0

speculative #1: Pretenders, "Don't Get Me Wrong"

speculative #2: Billy Squier, "Everybody Wants You"

speculative #3: Bananarama, "I Heard a Rumour"

actually "Venus" would be better there i thinkg

This acoustic session is recorded live under a water tower in Kättsätter, Norrköping, Sweden.

why oh why was that water tower constructed so well

I dug through a lot of shit to really find the essence of what it means to cover "my sharona" and I think it's either this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24lHkXiIkPQ

or this

I'm curious about the release date in relation to when songs like "I Wanna Be Sedated" started getting more popular.

well, the video was shot 9 years after the song's original release on the occasion of the Ramones Mania comp, and it seems like it's kind of attained its current pop culture profile only since then, although it was probably picked to promote the best-of because it was already one of their more popular songs, so that's a chicken and egg thing. i think it kinda became more of an evergreen alt-rock radio song in the mid-90s when they got all the farewell tour publicity, though.

that first "My Sharona" video

why is the little sister there

also who turned off the bass player's amp

can't defend the vocals but musically I feel this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgtoJ06-DgU

wait did they just stick 3EB onto the end of "My Sharona"

That drummer in Sister Paul is pure energy.

okay I think I'm just going to watch The Punks videos for the rest of the day, peace out

sister paul thing is crazy <3

i can't watch that sister paul thing without cracking up

O_O

so Sister Paul is basically "we're a hardcore band that loves Soft Cell"

this edges the Better than Ezra cover of the same song because of the insightful commentary from YouTube user krenZitapynk in the comments

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlPQzaFIhmw

oh man the vocals on the "Jeopardy" cover are going to be a disappointment, aren't they

oh man NOT A DISAPPOINTMENT

these videos really demonstrate the dangers to punk's whole 'so easy anyone can do it' rule

okay loooooooooooooooooool @ krenZitapynk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V-6oAto6sg&feature=relmfu

Sister Paul is seriously my new favorite band, you guys.

oh man NOT A DISAPPOINTMENT

ha no if you got Fields of the Nephilim/Mission skeletons in your closet then the Greek "Jeopardy" cover is the clear class of the field here

I was pretty sure at one point he was singing about his llama named Jeffery

Sister Paul is seriously my new favorite band, you guys.

That "Jeopardy" cover has everything. It's LONGER than the original song, it has an intro that goes on forever, it sets you up for what you think is going to be Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself For Loving You," it's got the world's worst Layne Staley impersonator . . . It's the perfect track, basically. In all of history there is none better.

this is actually kinda good & isn't punk, I'm sorry, it's just that the punk ones I found were just so exactly what you'd think and I think I've hit the wall on that shit now unfortunately. sorry for letting everybody down

<3

needs more grappelli xpost

What the fuck is going on in the chorus of that Crowded House cover.

oh for the love of Christ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc8MpqFJhwM

this thread is moving in a positive direction

this is the best I could do on this one

re: madness, is the guy in the tracksuit a 'chav'?

Glad to see I'm not the only one who's spent the last half hour watching Sister Paul youtubes

SISTER PAUL! wow

Our House... The Musical

I mean, what

man there's a lotta goth ass motherfuckers went and covered "here comes the rain again" let me tell you & also a Swedish act doing it as a bossa which I rather enjoyed however as an enthusiast of distinct vocal styles I feel this one will be hard to beat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTu1f4qpYUc

you guys, this fucking musical

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xCqKZqbqyM&feature=relmfu

oh fuck no that's the wrong one, my bad you guys, Just Joe is cool w/me this is what you want. attn djp this guy's timing will really tickle the hell out of you

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiADGMTsncw

and yeah that musical - I mean - trying to play "it must be love" for depth requires either gigantic balls or a naivete so total as to defy imagination

I am a fan of Just Joe, aka "Steroid Daughtry"

I am also a fan of Elephat Records before even hearing a note

lolling out loud at Ugly Barrow - good demonstration of why punk bands don't have fiddlers in them

oh my god

oh my god, for real
