"Friends of P" by Yawn Mower



Asbury Park, New Jersey indie duo Yawn Mower cover "Friends of P," an oft forgotten gem released by Santa Monica, California power pop band The Rentals in 1995.

I like it, but I miss the male/female harmonies of the original.  After all, this is a good song for a gal (Ooh Woo Hoo Hoo.....)
