This reminds me - several months ago before a show the venue played a disc with bluegrass covers of "TV Party" and "Dance this Mess Around." Anyone have any idea what that might have been?

A quick google search says it's a band called the Asylum Street Spankers:

Reading that reminded me of the Bad Livers' cover of "Lust for Life."

Cool. Thanks. Guess I never phrased my google searches the right way. I've heard of them, but have never gotten around to listening to them.

The Spankers are a great act. Their original tune "Startin' to Hate Country" is a hoot and a holler.

And of course there was that band called "Hayseed Dixie" a few years ago that did bluegrass covers of AC/DC songs. It was really funny for about 10 minutes, but then....

There are a couple of German (!) hillbilly bands that do strange covers, like The Twang, who remake "Blitzkreig Bop" among others:

The Richmond Fontaine 'Obliteration By Time' CD has a version of Husker Du's Pink Turns To Blue.

the websites are pretty funny. boss hoss is playing at " Easy Schorre." i would probably had never known that rod stewarts's" d'ya think i'm sexy" would translate so smoothly into a two step song; if johnny cash would have sung reggae, chances are it would be "i shot the sherriff" like twang.
