Elk Grove, California sibling group The College Fund Street Band cover "Rude," the 2013 debut reggae fusion single from Toronto, Canada pop band Magic!

Optimist me hopes that they'll get themselves a ginormous chunk of change toward their college fund.

Realist me understands that even if they earn a generous $1,000 per festival appearance, and they played a show each weekend year-round, they still wouldn't cover a year's tuition at Elk Grove College.

"Sugar" by Jazz Lag

So, here's Austin, Texas indie pop group Sun June with their version of "Twice," a 2006 downtempo release from Gothenburg, Sweden trip hop band Little Dragon.

If “Medicated Savages” refers to people who engage in activities like airsoft, welding, or other tasks where head impact or debris is a risk, yes — wearing a helmet is strongly recommended.

I don't know what being a medicated savage has to do with welding, but, thanks, AI for the semi-sensical response.

"Tongue Tied" by Fridays Off

 

Brand spankin' new college cover band Fridays Off cover "Tongue Tied," a 2011 electropop single from Los Angeles, California alternative dance band Grouplove.

It's not the most polished cover song, sure.... but according to this video, the band's been together for roughly a month.  For one of their first shows, this ain't too shabby.

The lyrics blow.  

It's.... catchy enough, I guess?

But, this.... THIS.... is awesome.

A veritable army of young kids wearing Brobee t-shirts and dancing semi-rhythmically?

A cotton candy drumstick?

Quirkus McGirkus DJ Lance Rock being himself?

Manchester, UK indie pop duo The TING TINGS?

In less than three minutes, this video takes a regular old birthday and cranks it up a full two notches on the happy-o-meter.
