Violent Femmes — Crazy

Posted by Keith Pelczarski, June 23, 2008 1:19 am - Permalink   

On St. Elsewhere, Gnarls Barkley did a great cover of the Violent Femmes’ tune “Gone Daddy Gone.” The Femmes are repaying the cover love, with their take on the Gnarls Barkley hit, “Crazy.” It’s crazy smooth is what it is, with sounds of surf rock guitar, mandolin, flute, and of course the Femmes’ trademark bass. They even rock the theremin on the chorus.

But the best part for all you vinyl junkies out there is that they’ve pressed a limited edition run of 1000 powder blue platters. They’re on sale now at violentandcrazy.com, and ship on June 24th.

Come on now who do you,
Who do you, who do you,
Who do you think you are?
