The fact that their first album sold a million copies without any promo, that alone should put them in the HOF. They’re are a thousand other reasons too!
The first band (other then The Doors) I ever listened too, that on their first four albums did not put ONE song on them, that you wanted to skip over or just sucked! That's LEGEND status!
This vid sums up the most important band to come out of Wisconsin in the late 20th century. Femmes did what few others dared to do, and never lost their roots. With the amazing Chicago scene that birthed successes like the Smashing Pumpkins just south, these boys made beautiful noise that sounds as good today as it ever did. COTR is seminal, compelling, vital, and visceral. Few rock songs can move me so hard. Shout out to the vid editors. Fucking perfect.
How did this song have a video? And why do I not know it? This is insanity. But you won't fool the children of the revolution. I will not fall for this.
You can bump and grind Have a good time You can twist and shout Let it all hang out But you won't fool the children of the revolution No, you won't fool the children of the revolution You can tell a plane, in the falling rain I got a Rolls Royce 'Cause it's good for my voice But you won't fool the children of the revolution No, you won't fool the children of the revolution You can bump and grind (grind) Feeling fine (fine) You can twist and shout (shout) Knock yourself out But you won't fool the children of the revolution No, you won't fool the children of the revolution No, you can't fool the children of the revolution No, you won't fool the children of the revolution No, you can't fool the children of the revolution No, you won't fool the children of the revolution Bump and grind (grind) Have a good time You can bump and grind Have a good time Bump and grind (grind) Have a good time (time) Bump and grind (grind) Have a good time (time) Bump and grind (grind) Have a good time (time) Bump and grind (grind) Have a good time (time) Bump and grind (grind) Have a good time (time) Bump and grind (grind) Have a good time (time) Awoo, Awoo, ah ah (grind, time) Awoo, Awoo (grind, time) Awoo (grind, time) Awoo (grind, time) (Grind) (Time) (Grind) (Time)
Cool. I love T Rex, and I love the Violent Femmes. (Not so) Fun Fact: Marc Bolan, who wrote this, had a fear of driving, so he found ways to mention cars in his songs, such as "Rolls Royce" in this song. He died in a car accident a month to the day, after Elvis died. He was not driving.
"Terror Plane in the falling rain. I got a Rolls Royce cause its good for my voice" Two cars in this song. " Mum a mum a mum I, my ma my Mustang Ford. All put together with alligator leather" And of course Jeepster. "I call you Jaguar and grab me a piece of boat"
COOL T.REX`ES COVER SONG! VIOLENT FEMMES , YOU DID IT VERY GOOD JOB, INDEED! SOME TALKING HEADES ELEMENTS INCLUDED! ME LIKE IT! MARK BOLAN WOULD BE VERY PROUD OF YOU , I`M SURE! IT IS A GREAT SONG FOR A COVER( BUT "SOMETHING", NOT A "COPY" ONE NOR "THE BAD IDEA" CONCEPT, INTERESTING, DIFFERENT! ANYWAY, JUST STOPPED BY TO SAY " I`M BACK AGAIN, STILL REMEMBER YOU GUYS!" REGARDS, THOMAS(POLAND-CHICAGO)
Such an amazing cover by the Femmes,one of my all time favorites by them!...👍🏿
Hell, Yeah! Violent Femme Video Dump day! I never knew this song had a video.
Why is this band not in the Rock Hall? I know it isn't what they're about, but they goddamn deserve it!

You can not f with this band
They bring all their equipment on the bus
The first band (other then The Doors) I ever listened too, that on their first four albums did not put ONE song on them, that you wanted to skip over or just sucked! That's LEGEND status!
This entire album, I skip. It has never felt right in their catalog.
I like the first album and literally hate everything else. I bet Marc Bolan is turning in his grave right now. Yuck
Good ole’ Milwaukee Public Museum! :)
Video partially shot at the Milwaukee Public Museum. I recognize the partially mauled dinosaur!
One of the best to ever do it
This band is one of the smartest song writers of all time, u definitely can’t f with this band
Got to credit Marc for this song. Never got the recognition that he deserved. A superstar in England but almost unknown over here

All time favorite from the lads. Thanks.

"just like a car, your a reason to behold" Shouldn't have left out that part.
@richardforster4429 it's "Terraplane", yet another car name.

💥🎸......🌭♠️👍 feeling fine
Reminds me of CD101 back in the day
thumbs up for the CD101 reference.
and thanks for the fish
produced by jerry harrison
Loved this version better wow wats up with the sudden post's ???
T-Rex - Marc Bolan
I got stars in my beard, and I feel real weird.
Hey Marc,nice surprise😘
Wish my dad didn't burn the house down before he killed himself or I'd have photos. Zdravko (Jerry) Zdencanovic if U don't believe me
Much better than the original version by T. Rex!
T. Rex had 2 versions.
I hate click up
It’s not bad, but not the cover anyone needed
What? Back at that time Power Station did a cover of Bang A Gong. Certainly nobody needed that. But pretty good. This one is better in my opinion.
This is actually trash. When Kesha makes a better cover something is wrong with their priorities with their cover.
It was the 80s ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Who?
