Got it Covered: Your Racist Friend


Original video located here. Accessed 25th August 2015

Song title: Your Racist Friend

Artist: Bodyjar

Originally Done By: They Might Be Giants

Year: 1999

Why I like this song:

Having been acquainted with punk rock in my teens I have heard plenty of covers done in the punk rock style, given them a punch - intentional or not - the original lacked.
And this is the case here: This is by no means a slight on the originial but listening to this, one gets the feeling Bodyjar gave the song the bite it needed.
