"Check Yes Juliet" by 20 Years Too Late

 


Manchester, UK band 20 Years Too Late perform a single take cover of "Check Yes Juliet," a 2007 emo pop single from Bradenton, Florida quartet We the Kings.

Seeing as they released the video in 2020, I assume that their band moniker comes from being 20 years too late in purchasing a home for $134,150.

"Punk Rock Girl" by The Nondenoms


 

Greensboro, North Carolina punks The Nondenoms cover Philadelphia, Pennsylvania cowpunk comedians The Dead Milkmen's 1988 comedy rock single "Punk Rock Girl."

I don't think that the idea of naming a child "Minnie Pearl" caught on as well as the Milkmen would have liked, with Pearl listed as the 300th ranked girl's name as of September 2024, and Minnie as the 630th ranked girl's name as of September 2024.

"I Think I'm Paranoid" by Like a Pop Song


 

Unsure if Like a Pop Song is a band or a single guy from Orange County, California.  Either way, he or they give the goods on this remake of "I Think I'm Paranoid," a 1998 lookin' over the shoulder single from Madison, Wisconsin electropop alternative darlings Garbage.

For another Garbage cover, the Amazonics' version of "Only Happy When It Rains" can be found here.

"Ice, Ice Baby" by Honey G

 


The day is finally here!

The day that I anxiously anticipate starting in mid-June, that Jess dreads in equal measure.

It's the start of the Philadelphia Flyers season!

So, to accompany the Greatest Show on Ice's end of hibernation, here's London, UK quasi-gangster rapper Honey G with her televised remake of "Ice, Ice Baby," a 1990 hip hop single from Miami, Florida rapper Vanilla Ice.

For another Vanilla Ice cover, Jimmy NaNa's version of "Ninja Rap" can be found here.

For a cover by Vanilla Ice, his version of "Jump Around" can be found here.
