I get to kick off a specialty week here on laptopsessions.com. If Jim & Chris haven’t hyped it up enough, it’s New Bands Week version 2.0 starting tonight!
Our first new band is, to be honest, a band I don’t know all that much about. Matter of fact, I didn’t even know this song was by this band until it was played on The Complaining Show on WCJM way back when. It was also featured prominently in the movie “The Wedding Singer” before Adam Sandler had his lights punched out.
I think I don’t match the voice of John (not Jerome) Geils that well, but the acoustic cover is an interesting one for sure.
Hey, it was either this or “Freeze Frame”.
This is probably among the more interesting songs I have covered. Hopefully the rest of the year my song selection will start to make sense much more often.
Tomorrow Jim will be here to bring another new band to the table. I can’t wait to see who it is!
