Awesome rock&roll style covers of Beyonce, Rihanna and Katy Perry. This band was founded in Berlin and reached #1 in charts of the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland and Norway.

There's a commercial campaign running for The Baseballs in Danish TV currently, but I'm not hearing them a lot on the Radio. I'm sure it'll pick up though, they're good. Reminds me of Richard Cheese, only... you know, more rock and roll than crooner.

That was atrocious. Also, it appears that was on some programme in Norway. I wonder if Morgoth knows more about it.

I love a bit of Hurra Torpedo, but musically they are really really bad, there's no denying it.

Love it or not, a song has to have something groovy about it for it to be covered/spoofed.

I disagree... Unless by "something groovy" you mean a basic beat and melody that can easily be converted into something far more awesome. For example, see the worst artist around at the moment, mixed with awesome metal!

It helps if it's done by a madman, too.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
