Bush and Blair… the new punk rock duo


Detroit rockers Electric Six have an entertaining, less-than-serious song called “Gay Bar”.  The song takes on a whole new tilt, however, when lip synched by George Bush and Tony Blair (I’m pretty sure they didn’t mean to ;)).  Check out the unofficial video at Camp Chaos.



Here’s how a description on Amazon (yeah, they fixed my account and are, once again, on my good side) describes Electric Six:


Electric Six is the most exciting band to come tumbling out of Detroit since Kiss. Sporting grimy leisure suits and hilarious stage names (the guitarists are known only as Surge Joebot and the Rock and Roll Indian), the ragtag group comes up with a deliriously catchy disco trash sound on its smart, hyperactive debut. Studio 54 horns mingle anxiously with AC/DC-influenced garage riffs, while frontman Dick Valentine rants maniacally over jerky, suggestive punk-funk songs like “Gay Bar” and “I’m the Bomb.” Plus, rumor suggests that single “Danger! High Voltage” features the White Stripes‘ Jack White on backing vocals and, less plausibly, Bill Clinton on saxophone. How cool is that? Very. –Aidin Vaziri


Incidentally, Electric Six also appears on the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack, a fabulously eclectic mix of music.  I give it a ::thumbsup::.

Kind of like an erector set for music

Okay, this is an interesting concept: cut up a bunch of songs, put them in a database as words then let people construct their own songs. It’s great, cause if you can’t sing, you can Let them sing it for you.
