This is a really good cover by Shonen Knife.  If you don’t know the song, it’s by the Monkees (who didn’t write, or play, their own songs).

I love the broken Engrish accents, and they are too adorable.

Shonen Knife is no stranger to covers, here’s some that I can think of: the Batman Theme (??), Top of the World (Carpenters), the Luck of the Irish (John Lennon), Rain (Beatles), and Faith Healers (The Embarrassment).

  1. I know a Monkees fanatic who would challenge you to a duel over that statement.
    I dig Shonen Knife. This is their most adorable album by far.

  2. Ooo, I love Shonen Knife! But I think you’re being tough on the Monkees to say the didn’t play their own songs. They did some!
