Grease

When I first saw Grease I was about seven or eight, I loved it so much I had my hair in a high pony tail and I wore a big rock ‘n roll skirt for days. I still watch every time I happen to come across it on TV. Ok fine, sometimes I wait for it and sing along like a high school girl on cough medicine.

Filthy Little Angels has put out a Grease tribute for us to download for free! It’s a really smart way to introduce new bands. We all know these songs so well that their new versions demonstrate the band’s sound beautifully. I really like Captain Polaroid doing “Blue Moon” and White Man Kamikaze’s “Hound Dog”. It made me curious about the bands so that’s always exciting.

Though I’m not as crazy about some of them. I’m all for weird, but if you’re just trying to sound like you’re making music only little green men and the post-apocalyptic generations of the future will get, I usually have little patience, but I’m not one to look a gift walk down memory lane in the mouth. Does that make sense? Maybe not, but neither does Neil’s Children’s psychedelic but fascinating rendition of “Tears On My Pillow”.

Here’s my favorite cover by The DeBretts. For the whole thing go to the Filthy Little Angels’ download page.
