Me First and the Gimme Gimmes turn pop standards into high-speed punk. Watch your friends try to name the song.
Gimme Gimme is all about Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, the punk-rock supergroup famous for turning pop standards and show tunes into high-speed, three-chord anthems. They make up 26 of the 35 songs, with covers of “I Only Want to Be with You,” “Over the Rainbow,” “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Stairway to Heaven,” “On My Mind,” “You’ve Got a Friend” and Cher’s “Believe.”
The rest of the list keeps the same playful punk spirit, with Goldfinger’s “My Head,” Less Than Jake, Liz Phair, Yeti Girls, You Me At Six and an In This Moment cover thrown in for good measure. It’s loud, fast and hilarious: songs you know from weddings, Broadway and soft rock radio, sped up and played by guys who clearly had a blast doing it. Perfect for a party, a road trip or any time you want to laugh and jump around at the same time. Put it on when your friends least expect it and watch them try to figure out what song it is.
