And don’t forget to cast your votes for the 2005 Coverville Countdown!
Oh no! No Christmas Covervilles anymore please. Please? (And also no A Capella Covervilles either, thank you!)
Furthermore I’d like to state that I enjoy Coverville very much, love to hear your voice announcing the songs, love your slips of the tongue, so keep up the goodwork!
Thanks and bye,

I must second the request for no more christmas covervilles. With very few exceptions (Christmas Wrapping is the only one that springs to mind) Christmas songs are terrible. The occasional cover of a terrible song is fine, but whole shows of such covers?
The Waitresses. Superb. Here’s a short, short video Xmas card I made that uses part of the original song. Will try it out with Save Ferris now.

Of the three versions you’ve played of Wham!’s Last Christmas, I have to say I like this one best. I also really liked Christmas Wrapping. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the original of it though, so I can’t make any comparison. I’m definitely going to have to check out more Save Ferris though!

Great Christmas shows. I love the As Fast As cover. Also wanted to let you know that I did finally find another cd that has the Save Ferris cover on it, it’s on another of the Kevin & Bean cds “Santa’s Swingin’ Sack”. I picked up all of the K&B Christmas cds I could find on Ebay and Amazon, there’s some great stuff on them (including some really great Christmas covers – and even a couple of non-Christmas (AudioSlave doing “What’s So Funny about Peace, Love & Understanding” on The Year they Recalled Santa Claus.
