Richman Lekman Yelle

I know this blog is supposed to be about covers, but Jeremy's high level of activity has propelled me to post something music related just so I don't fall terribly behind.

Just realized that Jonathan Richman and Jens Lekman have extremely similar voices!

Jonathan Richman - I Was Dancing In The Lesbian Bar
Jens Lekman - Into Eternity

I think someone noticed this a while ago and I dismissed it. Whoever that was: I'm sorry.


This is also a great video and song sent by my French friend Diana. It's 'Ce Jeu' by Yelle.

Allow someone who has a love-hate relationship with Rock 'n Roll to speak for himself...

Oh fuck it it's awful, I 'ate songs like 'at.
I don't know the words.

What's the first line??
Do we know any other fuckin' people's songs?
