Wow...
I think it would be great to hear bands who list TMBG as one of their
influences do covers...
The Bare Naked Ladies doing something from Flood or Apollo18 (w/ a lot of
harmony) would be cool...I'd also love to hear Fountains of Wayne do a TMBG
cover...I have some friends (in an alterna-punk-rock-funk sounding sort of
band) that are thinking about covering "I Palindrome I" sometime in the next
few months...
Also, I know this is an old thread, but here are the OTHER bands/artists I
frequently enjoy:
Fountains of Wayne...the Beatles...Jimmie's Chicken Shack...the Bloodhound
Gang...Weezer...Tom Petty...Moxy Fruvous...Bastard Squad (a great new punk
band)...the Vagrants (another great new band from
Colorado)...Greenday...Veruca Salt...Man or Astroman?...Shadowy Men from a
Shadowy Planet (who did the music from Kids in the Hall)...Blink182...Foo
Fighters...Gerry Mulligan (great sax player)...lots o' retro & New
Wave...and many many many others!
Catch ya later...

I had a dream around (yikes) three years ago where BNL did a live acoustic
set especially for me, and "Where Your Eyes Don't Go" (with Steve singing)
was one of the songs. Ever since then, I've always wanted to hear them
perform that...

Subject: TMBG: Re: tmbg-list Digest #27-8
I haven't checked my mail in a while so I dont know if this topic (other stuff we listen to) is still being talked about (written about?!) but I thought that I'd add my two cents worth, too:
Queen!!!! I was practically obsessed with them for the latter half of my life (I'm 20) and although I do not listen to them quite as often as I used to, they still hold a very dear and tender place in my heart.... sigh...
Bad Religion: I haven't actually listened to any of their new stuff since '96 or so but they also are very cool and I carry their tapes in my car so I can listen to them whenever the urge strikes.
Bing Crosby: I looooooooooooooove his crooning! He wasn't a very nice guy, but he was one hell of an entertainer.
The Proclaimers: I have not met a single living soul who has heard any other song of theirs other than the 500 miles one! Come on, guys, somebody has to back me up on this band! I know there is at least one other person on this planet who likes them! I highly recommend This Is The Story if you find it before Sunshine on Leith. Those twins kick major ass!
The Police/Sting: I don't think I even need to dignify that with an explanation. Sting is a genius.
Other artists/bands I also like include: Tom Waits, Alan Price (of Animals fame), Barenaked Ladies, The Sportsmen, Sarah Vaughan, Weird Al Yankovic, NOFX, any thing from the Big Band era, The Dance Hall Crashers(they're great live, too), Fred Schneider, Jay and the Americans, The Spin Doctors (the first two albums), and the Pecker soundtrack is one hell of an album, I must admit. Ok, thats about; I can't seem to think of anything else right now

Subject: TMBG: Everything YOU know is WRONG
Am I the only one who sees obscure possible TMBG references in Weird Al's
song "Everything You Know is Wrong"? I know the song was made on purpose in a
TMBG style. Here they are:
"...Everything you know is wrong..." -- Everything Right is Wrong Again
"...I was just about to mail a letter to my evil twin..." -- My Evil Twin
"...St. Peter... didn't like the Nehru jacket that I'm wearing..." -- St.
Peter not liking them in Road Move to Berlin
Merely coincidence? Yes? No? Maybe? I don't know. Could you repeat the
question?
"I'm the one who loves you! He's the angry one, with all the swear words!"

Hmmm, is this still a topic of discontent on this list???
You can simply ask the man. From his site, weirdal.com, you can check out
the "ask al" section. Here's an interesting snippet...
Al: Yes, "Mr. Popeil" is meant to sound like the B52's. A lot of my
originals are intentionally derivative of other groups (although not enough
to infringe on their copyright!) Some other very obvious style parodies
would be "Dare To Be Stupid" (DEVO), "Dog Eat Dog" (Talking Heads), "You
Make Me" (Oingo Boingo), "Everything You Know Is Wrong" (They Might Be
Giants) and "Germs" (Nine Inch Nails).
Nuff said?

LOL, wow! I got all the other style parodies, but I didn't know TMBG when I
listened to Everything You Know Is Wrong! I'll have to listen to that again,
because I had no idea it was a style parody of anything :D

weirdal.com is maintained by Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz, who's been Al's
drummer for 20-ish years. I do maintain weirdal.org, an unofficial site
that will be getting a very nice makeover in the next couple of weeks. :)
