"Jimmy" by Of Montreal

 

British/Sri Lankan singer M.I.A. had her 2007 electro-disco single "Jimmy" covered by Athens, Georgia psychedelic pop band Of Montreal.

For those asking a lady on a first date, a genocide tour isn't the best suggestion.

Maybe try Applebee's.

For another M.I.A. cover, This Century's version of "Paper Planes" can be found here.

"Paper Planes" by This Century

 

Post #100!

To celebrate, here's a cover of M.I.A. by Phoenix, Arizona pop rockers This Century.  Because, Century. 100.  You know.  

There's not a whole lot that changed from the original version.  What's that? Right... apart from the singer, Captain Obvious.

So, rather than talk about the cover, here's something about paper planes.

Residents of the town of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, with the help of volunteers from as far away as Nashua, New Hampshire and Boston constructed a 1,500 pound paper airplane sculpture.  It's thought to be the biggest in the world, at least as of 2018.

The largest functional paper airplane remains the one that was designed by a team of 14 students and faculty at  Braunschweig Institute of Technology back in 2013.
