Wanna Learn Spanish?

One of the great things about Europop is that many times it is sung in a different language. This song by Nena Daconte is a perfect example. I visited Madrid awhile ago and heard this song at least 6 times a day...that's what happens when a great pop song blows up!! I didn't have a choice but to buy the record and get my Spanish learn on. Enjoy, even if you don't know what she's saying...

Midwest Hip Hop

I haven't enjoyed any Midwest hiphop south of Chicago this much since the Nelly invasion of Freshman year of college! Here is Indiana's own Freddy Gibbs with "What it be like". Thug life!

The Mighty Return of EuroPop!

I'm gonna go crazy this week and feature some of my favorite recent Europop songs. It won't be my usual style, but what can I say, I tend to have a weak spot for trashy, cheesy, European pop songs:)

German is for Suckers

I was nearly going to abandon the cover theme when I saw what Hugh put up, and then remembered all those 90s bands that covered 80s music. That niche is a goldmine for great cover songs!!

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

I remember skanking out to this song back in the day. Great cover, great song, yada yada yada.

Here's Save Ferris with Come on Eileen:

Gnarls Raconteurs

I was lucky enough to catch this performance a few years ago at Lollapalooza. Pretty sweet going from seeing the original to this awesome cover within a couple of hours. 2006 was badass...
