Edelweiss

Punk "Edelweiss" with the original Nazi lyrics. Someone else posted their version of this recently...

Hi, UncleOzzy! Happy April Fool's. It seems UncleOzzy and I tend to mess around with the same cover songs.

(Get Flash to see the track player.)

Ha! If you tell me you've also covered the Goldfish jingle from 7 or 8 years ago, I think I'll just lose it.

Seriously, though, digging it. Especially the bass part.

I've never heard the original but this is pretty cool. I like the singing, mucho bueno. I hope you're not a nazi.

This would go well with four -- no, five hookers.

"Never heard the original," brnP84? Please go watch The Sound Of Music, preferably as performed by your local musical theater troup. Feel our pain. Understand the earmeme of Edelweiss when it appears in any form.

Thanks, uncleozzy. My rules for covers are "one pass per track" and "raw as possible". If my voice were as good as yours, I might work harder on the rest of the tracks. The drummer is my girlfriend at the time, the other tracks are me.

One moment on the Goldfish jingle. Let me search my harddrive...

Well, I wouldn't call my voice "good," but thanks anyhow. (And I'd kill for a drumkit I could record. I've got my sequencing workflow down to a science, but the groove just doesn't translate.)
