"Paul Revere" by Asylum Street Spankers

 

According to the New England Historical Society, today marks the semiquincentennial anniversary of the first of Paul Revere's rides to give warning of British military advances.

So, here's Austin, Texas comedic ragtime band Asylum Street Spankers with their version of "Paul Revere," a 1986 hip hop single from New York City rappers Beastie Boys.

"Sabotage" by Steve 'N' Seagulls

 

You'd think that with my affinity for outlandish Finnish cover bands I'd have heard of Steve 'N' Seagulls prior to last month.

Nah. (Thanks, Adam, for the introduction.)

But, better late than never in discovering these goofy hillbillies and their bluegrass versions of mainstream hits, including "Sabotage," the rap rock crossover initially released by Beastie Boys in 1994.
