I'm listening to their new album "Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Love Their Country"(an album of country covers) now and felt I should share the love.

1. looks like they were a hit--no ruin, there

I thought for a minute they were giong to do that I would walk 500 miles:rofl:

2. I wish there was more of their performance their.

They recorded it as a live album. Some good stuff. "If we play the wrong chord at some point, that just means more notes!"

3. if this is for real then Jonny is a lucky boy!! LMFAO!!

I have a bunch of their punk versions of songs on CD compilations I made about 3 or so years ago during my heavy limewire/Kazaa downloading days. this band is quite good! I can't imagine their country covers...

4. I've got most of their albums on my hard drive.

And I'm pretty sure that was a real Bar Mitzvah. On the country album they do "On The Road Again" but start it of as "Astro Zombies" by Misfits. Fun album.

10. A friend of mine burned me a cd one time, back in like '99

And he put their cover of "Danny's Song" on there. I've loved them ever since.

8. Excellent!

A 19-year-old friend turned me on to "Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Are a Drag" about four years ago. I was an instant fan.

Youth have much to teach us, most of it cool. :thumbsup:

9. I love the NAME. The music is cool too but that name is a hoot.

11. I love them too.

I think they're great. The name, the songs, everything. I just ordered their new album. One of my favorite bands. Thanks for the link.

12. I don't know their music, but...

...I think their name is hysterical. :) To quote my best friend's cousin: "Gee, sounds like my sister."

13. They play punk covers of the most random stuff you could imagine...

From country to showtunes to modern R&B, haha. Fun stuff. Just check out the video I linked.
