It is literally inconceivable that there is a worse cover version in the history of humanity than this excrescence. Make it stop....make it stop...

So, I was in Goodwill yesterday and there was this terrible 90s pop cover of Mrs Robinson on the PA. In my mind it went from background irritating, to what is this garbage and why does it sound so pleased with itself, to I might have to leave soon, to thank FUCK that's over. It was seriously upsetting.
I know, I know - I should have heard it before, but I am Old, and out of touch with 20 yr old garbage pop music. I looked it up and it was Weezer, which seems right because fuck Weezer.

Because they're not the old terrible 90's pop cover of Mrs Robinson. May I present...

I wanted to chime in and say "Hey, the Lemonheads aren't all bad, they have an album named Ruby Vroom after Mitch Froom and Suzanne Vega's daughter, how bad could they be?" But then I remembered that no, actually, Soul Coughing were the band that had the album named after the fruit of the Froom/Vega union. In conclusion, fuck the Lemonheads.

Ha! I got tricked by the first search result, which was wrong.
Just awful, and apparently actually is The Lemonheads.

When you said it was a bad Mrs. Robinson cover, my first thought was "It's probably that same Lemonheads version that was labelled as Me First and the Gimme Gimmes on KaZaA fifteen years ago."

This song is a compelling argument that the development of heavy metal as an aesthetic/genre was a mistake.

This song is a compelling argument that the development of heavy metal as an aesthetic/genre was a mistake. The whole album is pretty disappointing, maybe aside from the two John Lennon covers. The worst track was probably the obligatory version of "Sympathy For The Devil" that completed dropped any of the darkness and replaced it with this awful pop production value.

This must have actually started making bank - or they genuinely love doing it - because it felt like some one-off thing back when it started, but they've been doing it weekly for like 2 years now. (And in research this comment I see that Toyah posts way more than these too. She's working it.)
