I was very happy to find this cover this weekend:
An all-girl Japanese band covers Bart Simpson. Yes!
An all-guy American band returns the favour, covering a Japanese cartoon theme. I stumbled upon this album yesterday at the library, but unfortunately the concept of aging punk stars covering anime themes is more exciting than the output. The American Legends of Punk refers to members of the Misfits, Black Flag, The Voidoids, and The Ramones.
I remember the Simpsons Sing the Blues album was so cool when I was like 7. It's actually fairly listenable.
You may recognize this as one of the songs Homer's barbershop quartet (The Be-Sharps) performs.
[originally by the Be-Sharps/Les Applegate]
Wow, while checking who originally did Coney Island Baby, I found this guy's site with a full-on cover of the Be-Sharps! Bonus, the man known as Captain Thorns even has a couple Moxy Früvous covers! Check out this cover of The Greatest Man in America.
I can't remember exactly where I got this from, but presumably from over at WFMU.
Oh my god. That Sailor Moon cover is the best ever! I would love to hear more of those.
