"Flagpole Sitta" by Venice Sunlight

 

"Flagpole Sitta," the boisterous 1998 pop punk single from Seattle, Washington band Harvey Danger was remade by Venice Sunlight.

The cover is fairly straightforward.  

But, Venice Sunlight?

They are in the running for the Phillyest Philly band that ever Phillyed.

Take the photo of them on their Sonicbids profile.  They're posing in front of an iconic sign that adorned the walls of now defunct Northern Liberties cocktail bar Emmanuelle.

And, their self-penned bio on Spotify uses the word "jawn" in reference to their album that was in the works during the quarantine years.  

Would not be at all surprised if the stage name of their drummer is Hoagie McSchmitter

For a cover by Harvey Danger, their version of "Save it for Later" can be found here.

"Save it for Later" by Harvey Danger

 

1982 ska song "Save it for Later" by Birmingham, UK fusion band The (English) Beat was covered in 1999 by Seattle, Washington indie group Harvey Danger for the soundtrack of romance drama "200 Cigarettes."

Though other videos of the song were available on YouTube, I went with the one that briefly features a 30 something Paul Rudd getting himself into a bar fight.

Because there are very few things that my wife would rather watch than a brief video of a 30 something Paul Rudd getting himself into a bar fight.

Very few.
