And yes, Gordon Gano was being bad. He's probably composing a song right this minute about how guilty and ashamed he feels. ;)
I <3 the Violent Femmes.

I must admit, I really like the original, and most of the covers are very good but... I don't get it. Why are so many artists drawn to this song?

I really don't see how anybody can dislike this. Poll: do any of the haters otherwise like the Femmes? Or is the dislike directed specifically AT the Femmes? Because if that's the case, well. . .there's no accounting for taste!

Makes me appreciate Cee Lo even more ...

You MUST follow this with Gnarl's Barkley's version of Gone Daddy Gone!

Nope.

Well, Bill, you're certainly mixing it up today! And since when do the VF's have a flautist?

Edit: Well, it turns out they've historically worked with an array of woodwind/brass instrumentalists as guests... When I saw them at Shoreline a few years back, they were just guitar, xylophone, and snare drum. And yep, they rocked the house!

interesting cover

Definately out of character for VF, but I like it!

Thanks Bill, for another funny bone moment, especially after Pat Boone's version of *Enter Sandman*.....

Yes, but hating can be so much fun, especially when there is a song worthy of hate. I'll admit that his is some of the Femmes's best work, but that's not saying much.

Same as 2 days ago! GNARLS ONLY! Anyone else singing this song is

You guys are haters. That was fun. Thanks Bill :)

NO! Gnarls and Gnarls only!

Violent Femmes... the Oompah-oompah band of the 80's... horrid to start with. Then, to cover Crazy? Blech.
