This site is better than Craigslist part 2: Single Mom and Time Travel edition

I'm guessing the target audience for these are desperate old men and hipsters. Except they could have gotten a relatively good looking, young hipster girl with high-waisted shorts and sleeveless top. (still gross though, lol). Instead of using a photo from the 80s.

How good is this Under The Sea cover by Suburban Legends

One of the worst things about having a girlfriend into Disney films and Ska/pop-punk is that I have to sit through said Disney films, listen to the songs at various times and then also have to hear various covers of the same songs.

Ah, who am I kidding, it's pretty sweet! The latest find (awhile ago) was this Under The Sea cover from The Little Mermaid by Suburban Legends.

Oh hai girls, we're rebellious but cute!
Of course this makes perfect sense from a marketing point of view for the band:

  • Taking an existing song and covering it is a classic technique to get new fans but they have the plus of it being an era-spanning film soundtrack song
  • Bonus 'OMG they're so different and DGAF' points for being sensitive enough to like Disney but cool enough not to care is the punx judge them. Maaaan.
I'll eventually check out their other songs (which is exactly what the band want, dammit) but for now I'm happy enough with this find.
