"Come On, Let's Go" by Girl in a Coma

 

San Antonio, Texas indie rockers Girl in a Coma cover "Come On, Let's Go," a 1958 single from San Fernando, California Chicano rock pioneer Ritchie Valens.  

Though their style may seem to be whimsical and carefree, Girl in a Coma.... I know... I know they're really serious.

For another Valens cover, the Telex version of "La Bamba" can be found here.

"La Bamba" by Telex

 

If I didn't know that "La Bamba" by Belgian Synthpop group Telex was a cover song, I'd have just assumed that this version was taken from the recording session of a cyborg designed by Omni Corporation which melded the body of Ritchie Valens with robotic parts before programming the new RoboSerenader to serve the public trust, protect the innocent, and uphold the law on the crime ridden streets of Detroit.... and, you know.... sing Mexican folk songs at city open mic nights.
