"Connection" by The Fantastic Plastics

 

You'll find this surprising, but I've never been cool enough to sign up for a Twitch account.

That's probably why it took so long to discover New York City retro new wave band The Fantastic Plastics.

Here, the duo cover "Connection," the 1994 single from British art punk band Elastica that contains, arguably, one of the catchiest riffs from that decade.

So catchy, in fact, that it makes anthropomorphic jars of peanut butter, Napoleon Dynamite, and Carlton Banks dance like crazy, while Vincent Vega stands around looking confused.

For a cover by Elastica, their version of "Da Da Da" can be found here.

"Da Da Da" by Elastica

 

New Wave German band Trio released "Da Da Da" in 1981, along with the weirdest video that I've ever seen.  Love the stoic drummer under a beach umbrella.  

Actually, not exactly.  They released the song under the title "Da Da Da ich lieb dich nicht du liebst mich nicht aha aha aha," which was later truncated because, sheesh.

In the Spring of 2000, British alt rockers Elastica performed a brilliant cover of "ich lieb mich nicht lich frich" before promptly falling off the face of the Earth.
