We’re back! And thank you for your suggestions on file hosting; we’re checking them all out as we hit crunch time. So we need to hit ‘em hard today and get you guys some quality covers to make up for lost time.

Today’s first cover comes via Last Christmas friend and Philly neighbor Philebrity who featured us last year. This year, they get in the action and present the world with Faux Slang, which they describe as having enough “early Teenage Fanclub sludge to mask the true pain that lies at the core of this sad, sad tune.”

Team Whatever give us what I believe is our first kazoo cover! Most precisely, the vocals are done via kazoo, which is rather charming actually. Frankly I’m surprised it took 3 years to come across a kazoo version.

You really have to appreciate a band with confidence. Firstly, Starfire’s myspace address is “starefireowns.” Secondly, their bio states, “Starfire is the collaboration of 2 of the most amazing pop minds of all time.” They only have this cover up on page though, so we cannot completely verify the accuracy of this statement. We can however declare that this is a good slow dance/pop version that would comfortably on your 2K8 holiday mix.
