"Never There" by Redstock

 


Sao Paulo, Brazil area quartet Redstock cover "Never There," the 1998 experimental country song from Sacramento, California band Cake.

I suspect some cheating, though.

From their Youtube video description, we have a guy on voz y baixo.  That's vocals and bass. A guy on voz y guitarra.  Another guy on guitarra with no voz.  And, last guy on bateria. (had to look that up.  That's drums.)

So, where's that trumpet sound coming from?  

For a cover by Cake, their version of "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" can be found here.

"Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" by Cake

 


Sacramento, California deadpan band Cake covered Cincinnati, Ohio singer, actress, and activist Doris Day's 1965 song "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" on their brilliant 1996 album Fashion Nugget.

Well, this is partially true.  

Doris Day likely released the first version of the song entirely in English.  Credit for the Spanglish original tune goes to bandleader Desi Arnaz, way back in 1948.  Here 'tis.

If Cake decides to release an official video, I hope that it will consist of band members dancing the tango with eggs stuffed down their shirts.

Though, they may want to sleep on that until egg prices aren't completely redunk.
