Bit thanks to TASTA, who pointed me to this freaky great cover. In the pantheon of great out-of-genre cover choices, this has to be right up there with Ted Leo’s “Since U Been Gone.”
MP3: Eels - Get Ur Freak On (Missy Elliot)
This song makes me feel funny. It’s a sweet cover that takes Missy’s original and amps up the agression by about a million percent… HOWEVER it does remind me a bit of a non-lame Limp Bizkit. In fact, I almost wish I hadn’t said that because I’m sure I either spoiled the enjoyment for some of you or I completely dissuaded a few of you from even listening to it. Well while I won’t exactly take that back, I will say that the cover is well worth your time. Mark Everett is a mad scientist and this is his Frankenstein’s monster.
