They have been played 12 times since christmas, but so have 17 other bands. Thats not quite 1 play per day, but its still more cake than I would like to hear! |

Nope, but a DNA trail exists. Hoping they will publish a compilation of their awesome cover tunes someday. There were many vocalists doing that long before Francis Albert Sinatra did so. This is a good tune at any rate, |

To me, these guys fall into the "talented but hopelessly annoying" category. Just sayin'...

Thanks! Your insightful, in-depth analysis helps explain why some RP listeners prefer not to appreciate the clever lyrics, complex arrangements and unusual instrumentation of a band that thinks as hard as they rock. |

Love me some Cake! No matter what mood I'm in, Cake gets me grooving. Just like Mike Doughty/Soul Coughing.
I suppose I can get why some people don't like Cake. They are unusual, but that unusualness makes them awesome to my ears.

Cool insight. Since I dig McCrea, this actually gives me a better appreciation for Sinatra..not historically my favorite male vocalist of the era—my preference is for the crooners, like Dino, and Tony Bennett. BTW, in 2007 Cake released a compilation of (mostly) covers, called "B-Sides and Rarities," that includes a quite possibly Frank-worthy version of "Strangers in the Night." 1. "War Pigs" - 3:54 (Black Sabbath cover) 2. "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" - 2:55 (Kenny Rogers cover) 3. "Mahna, Mahna" - 2:54 (A cover of the song made popular by the Muppets) 4. "Excuse Me, I Think I've Got a Heartache" - 2:21 (Buck Owens cover) 5. "Conroy (DJ Greyboy Remix)" - 3:01 6. "Strangers in the Night" - 2:51 (Frank Sinatra cover) 7. "Subtract One Love (Multiply the Heartaches)" - 2:47 (George Jones cover) 8. "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up" - 3:50 (Barry White cover) 9. "Thrills" - 2:58 (The Chakachas cover; the original title being "Stories") 10. "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" (Live at Triple M) - 3:16 11. "It's Coming Down" (Live at Pure FM) - 4:12 |

I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooong jacket. Anyone ever watched "Chuck"? Cake does the theme song, and I can't listen to them without thinking about a Chuck episode. Maybe this is a bad thing.
