I don't often cross post on Pownce and here on my blog, but this is worth an exception I think. A few minutes ago, a friend reminded me of the Barenaked Ladies' cover of Lovers in a Dangerous Time. I hadn't heard it in years and I'd never seen the video. The song is as good or better than I remembered. I don't care what you think of what the band's done since the famous (at least in Canada) and elusive Yellow Tape, this cover stands on its own.

While I agree with you on the greatness of that song, I think "McDonalds Girl" is the better cover :D

I agree with you about the song and I own a copy of the Yellow Tape. Does that make me cool or something? Did you hear that Stephen Page just got busted for possession of coke? Nicely timed after the release of their kids album hilariously entitled "Snacktime"

I never heard of the band Bare naked Ladies before let along the song, but I went and listened on youtube and I love it. You have given me a new interest "BNL". Thanks for sharing. :-)

Daniel I've been having a problem on Pownce where it keeps asking for my username and password even though it has it, it does it often on system startup (Mac OSX 10.5). I set it to remember it, but remembering doesn't seem to work.

I think the Bare Naked Ladies don't get as much respect as they should. I love everything about them, and recall when they were in my town once and played at some local joint for us. Wonderful men! And great music.
