The moment Glenn Danzig finished scribbling out the lyrics to Skulls, an interesting-looking girl appeared from the shadows and started to sing it out with ukulele (in some myths, a parlor guitar), and wouldn't stop no matter how much he roared at her. posted by fleacircus at 1:01 PM on October 26, 2012 [1 favorite]
In his house in Jersey, buff Danzig waits seething. posted by Atom Eyes at 1:04 PM on October 26, 2012 [2 favorites]
Cute girls playing small instruments, irony, metal... This post has all the elements of a smash Internet success. Yet for some reason I cannot get behind it. Meh. posted by nowhere man at 1:13 PM on October 26, 2012 [1 favorite]

I will say, though, that I get the feeling that Haley (link "are") could probably wail on Astro Zombies with a proper guitar, amp and PA backing her. I think it's the Fender-style headstock on her uke. posted by Thorzdad at 1:20 PM on October 26, 2012
They wouldn't be if people like you would stop spreading them around. posted by mikoroshi at 1:20 PM on October 26, 2012
I would make any of those women my Helena... (I found them all very cute)
The first, being, the one who covers Dig Up Her Bones.

Was I supposed to play them all at once? Cause that works. posted by mkb at 1:50 PM on October 26, 2012
Thanks to these ladies for making me need to go listen to the originals and get their milquetoast hipster version scrubbed from my brain. posted by AndrewKemendo at 4:11 PM on October 26, 2012 [2 favorites]
Wow, that's a lot of hipster to take in all at once. posted by hellslinger at 4:35 PM on October 26, 2012 [1 favorite]
I like this accoustic london dungeon version without ukelele better posted by namagomi at 4:55 PM on October 26, 2012

If you're gonna twee, twee with me.
Also, here's Superchunk covering "Where Eagles Dare." posted by ndfine at 6:55 PM on October 26, 2012
I'm rather partial to this acoustic version of Where Eagles Dare by No Fun At All. The harmony on I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch at the end just kills. Makes me wonder what if James Taylor did an album of Misfits covers? posted by Gotanda at 7:32 PM on October 26, 2012
I lived through the era when people thought bluegrass covers of rock songs were amusing after the first verse of the first one, so I figure I can outlast the ukelele thing posted by thelonius at 7:30 AM on October 27, 2012
boo_radley, I saw Pajo a few years ago opening for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but I was never able to figure out who he was (his name wasn't on the ticket or in any of the post-show write-ups I found). Thank you for finally solving the mystery for me! posted by rebel_rebel at 9:15 AM on October 27, 2012
