Spike Slawson gives us a firm insight into the choices made and the parties they intend to start with the fabulously fun new album from the Gimme Gimmes.

Raining Men

“We’ve been horny for this song for years. It’s a natural for us, both musically and thematically. I’m so fucking wet right now”

Rhinestone Cowboy

“Few have had the effrontery required to nail this song to the proverbial cross but luckily for you the Gimmes have no abiding sense of shame or honour. We do have plenty of rhinestones, though.”

Girls Just Want to Have Fun

“And fun is exactly what they (girls) and everybody else will have when they listen to this track. We can’t take full credit, though. It’s almost like these songs write themselves.”

Hey-Ya

“Again, not tooting our own horn or anything but the Gimmes have just recorded one of the biggest hits of all time. We are merely vessels. God is good and originality is overrated.”

I Want It That Way

“Though our average age is currently about 50, we are essentially a sensual boy band at heart. We know exactly what we want and how we want it. Not that way… that way.”

Rio

“Justice has nothing to do with what we’ve done to this song. The Judases of Spike and The Gimme Gimmes crucify yet another exotic classic of yesteryear and predictably the result is an improvement by several orders of magnitude.”

Kokomo

“An ode to the almost universal joys of exploitative tourism. Or, as John Lydon put it, ‘A cheap holiday in other people’s misery.’ What better place to spend your leisure time? There can be no “freude” without “schaden”—I don’t make the rules.”

Fame

“Take it from me, Spike, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Being so handsome and relatable comes with serious challenges and setbacks that you ugly plebes could never fucking fathom. That name again is Spike.“

Think I’m in Love

“We have stripped away the fat from Eddie Money’s masterpiece, leaving only sinew, protein and an umami aftertaste. This song will definitely repeat on you, so don’t stray too far from a bathroom.”

I’ll Make Love to You

“Did I mention how fucking horny we are? Please receive this musical boner in the manner it was intended. Straight into your earholes. We were thoughtful enough to include our astrological signs and our individual personal interests in the track so you can make an informed decision. You’re welcome.”

We Are the World

“If not we, whom? If not now, when? This song is plagiarism with a conscience and star-studded, to boot. El Vez, Nikki Corvette, Milo Aukerman, Tony Reflex… the list goes on. Jim Lindberg’s contribution over the end is the icing on the cake.

Come out and see us give the business to this song and many more coming soon to a town near you!”
