Late Late Nite FDL: Ultimate Camp
I know everybody and their second cousin covers Hey Joe at some point in their life. That said, when I first listened to Willy Deville’s rendition I laughed almost to the point of tears, my inner rock and roller purist self felt appalled for half a minute, then quickly moved into the groove. Then I just had to listen to it a couple more times.
Willy Deville “Hey Joe”
Helge Schneider and The Firefuckers “Hey Joe”

If you want to know what Hey Joe meets Weird Al Yankovic at the spaghetti western sounds like, and yes, I think you really do, listen to Helge Schneider and the Firefuckers. Consider yourself warned.
What’s on your mind tonight?
