"Thnks fr th Mmrs" by The Maine

 

Happy Thanksgiving, Y'all!

Among the things that we can be thankful for are, of course, the memories.

So, here's Tempe, Arizona punk band The Maine with their version of "Thnks fr th Mmrs," a 2007 emo pop single from Wilmette, Illinois alt rock group Fall Out Boy.

For another Fall Out Boy cover, Halocene's version of "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" can be found here.

For a cover by Fall Out Boy, their version of "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" can be found here.

Wilmette, Illinois hardcore emo band Fall Out Boy derived their name from a lesser-known Simpsons character.  And, unlike some other bands that took their moniker from the iconic animated sitcom, they don't utterly and unequivocally suck.

Here, they tackle a tune that Billboard magazine dubbed one of the ten most pristinely perfect pop songs ever, the 1987 Grammy award winner for Best Female Vocal Performance "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)," a megahit for Newark, New Jersey singer Whitney Houston.

I think it's the way Halocene's singer pronounces the word "I've" in their Fall Out Boy cover that makes me imagine that she often pops two pieces of green Fruit Stripe gum into her mouth before getting onstage at concerts, then twirls it around her left index finger incessantly throughout the entire performance.
