Hola amigos – I’m happy to present the next batch of jamtastic covers to the Muffinverse. Some of these cuts are new, some not so new, but all are excellent nonetheless. Like I said before, nothing gets my head nodding and my foot tapping like a good ol’ cover song, and I’m hoping you’ll dig them too. Also, I’m not quite sure how Axel Foley has become the mascot of these posts, but I think he’s here to stay. Check it:

B-B-B-Bonus vid: I know we’ve all heard this song a billion times before, but definitely check out Little Boots and her Yamaha Tenori-on going to town on MGMT’s ‘Time to Pretend’. I seriously need one of those in my life….
In case you missed out on the first round of songs: Cover Me Pt. I
My Litebrite doesn’t do that!
great stuf. love the covers! and you nailed great ones, old and new nice work. i wanna be you when i grow up
ok so i wrote that last message when i was three songs deep. i heard the b.i.g. cover and i went from six to midnight. im sitting down but the im at half mass u rule
The Ben Gibbard track is kind of hilarious to me, but that might just be because I’m imagining Zooey sitting there listening, knitting or something.
Lykke Li and the Kooks are also going to be on Rockville, CA and once the site gets up and running, there will be two full length song performances available, sadly I don’t think any involve a Tenori- on.
(Does Little Boots do anything besides record YouTube videos with that thing? I think that might just be my jealousy talking…)
I can picture it now – BG trying to get all serious while singing ‘Thriller’ and Zooey is on the couch just reading a magazine. Hilarity ensues.
Little Boots’ Tenori-on abilities are undeniable. I barely know how to work my phone.
