Whatever
misconceptions I may have had about Treasure Mammal based on their previous
cassette are all gone now after hearing this one. These aren’t all necessarily covers, but
they are mixes of different songs and they are all hilariously brilliant.
The
cassette opens with what is called “Intro” and is the intro of Dave Matthews
Band “Ants Marching” on a loop with a line from Godsmack’s “Voodoo” being sung
over it. Most of the other songs are
closer to straight up covers, in terms of the actual lyrics (or close to them)
over the artists original music (for the most part)
In
particular, the cover of “We Are Never Getting Back Together” makes me want Taylor
Swift to become a rapper known as T-Swift.
Also, putting Limp Bizkit’s “Nookie” to a Thanksgiving theme is rather
brilliant, don’t you think?
Perhaps
my favorite track, which should be an instant classic, is called “Invisible
Obama” and it’s that Clint Eastwood speech to an empty chair over that Psy song
we all know and love with the title occasionally being sung. If nothing else this should reassure you
that Treasure Mammal is a band that perhaps doesn’t take themselves seriously
(or might appear not to at least) but you should definitely take them seriously.
