Wheatus covering My Music at Work
After chatting to Brendan, I found out he's a big Hip fan, and now for the North American tour, this will be part of the set
Still picking up the elderly from the floor, still dealing with the drunks, now wrestling seals and posting it on twitter.. @richardilderton
'Whoops' is not a word the patient wants to hear...apparently

Wow, I haven't heard the name Wheatus since about 2001. That's a pretty solid version of MMAW, but my favorite cover of this song is from Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard:

It looks Wheatus also released a song called "In the Melody" in 2005 that references the Hip (and the Stereophonics, who also covered the Hip):
"That night that you got on a plane to Los Angeles I turned back into the me that I was
That guy that would go out to buy a new porno and come back with twenty...the pervert you love
And as I drove I remembered that you made a tape
For me to play if I ever had a lonely day
I slipped it in and the Stereophonics came on singing about matches
Well at least someone still believes in the melody
I, I think that I've heard it already but I
I think that I must admit that as bad as it gets
Someone still believes
The sound of American radio's making me feel like I just killed my mom and my dad
These pop songs are meant to be simple so people who make them we take them and break them in half
But as I drove I remembered that you made a tape
For me to play if I my ears were ever being raped
I slipped it in and the Tragically Hip came on singing about matches
Well at least someone still believes in the melody
I, I think that I've heard it already but I
I think that I must admit that as bad as it gets
Someone still believes
WhhoooAAAAAAWhhooo
Well at least someone still believes in the melody
I, I think that I've heard it already but I
I think that I must admit that as bad as it gets
Someone still believes"

Thanks for the link, did not know this existed. I pretty much hoard anything even vaguely related to Ben and DCFC so this was a pleasant surprise indeed!
