Wow. Some of these comments are sort of really stupid. I am a huge crass fan, and have been for many years, I just recently learned of jeffry lewis and personaly love what he has done with the songs. good song, good video. And to all you assholes bashing on him for changing the lyrics, thats what a true cover does, you take a song from someone else and put your own personal touch to it. Look at movie remakes. Theyre not done line for line.
@Scarypair92 those aren't his lyrics. he's taking something that was great and just mucking it up. there's no need for this prick to recreate these songs. especially for hippies and pussies. if you like the lyrics, listen to the actual band. not this clown.
@ThePoliticsOf You spa. I love Crass but JL is going to reach an audience they'd never have gotten to. You should read the inlay of his CD, might understand it a bit better. Saw Steve Ignorant a couple of weeks ago and was amazing but this is a different kettle of fish - not shit, just different.
@ThePoliticsOf Crass were actually quite complimentary about the album. Your argument is pretty much invalid. JL does a great job and there is room in the world for both versions of these songs. Get over yourself mate.

Hey Jeff, Your covers of crass songs are crap, They make me cringe, I saw the crass live in the late 70's early 80's Did you ?, Ive got all their stuff, they were the best band to come out of England, Totally unique, No band in the entire world sounds like the Crass, You are just turning their songs into a fucking choir anthem, Leave them alone and try to do your own stuff, Bet you can't, Yank prick.
@stetsoncutie wow man this guys own stuff is more brilliant than anything crass has every done. Listen to "To be Obectified" he did a song about "chelsea hotel that means basically the same thing as the original. This guy is paying tribute to Crass which is much deserved but this guy's songwriting is not comparable
Man its tough being so narrow minded.. Its hard having everything handed to us Mericans our gold paved streets and golden arches. Life ain't easy having it so easy. Turning off my 52 Television gettin little beck in before I prey for all the less fortunate folks with brains. Life aint easy having it so easy.
Right, so he has an opinion & endorses Obama. If you listen to C.R.A.S.S. or Jeff's interpritations and don't see that the point is that not everyone thinks the same way then I make you more ignorant than Steve himself. That's the great thing about opinions - everyone has one!
Write your own songs. Cashing in on Crass's creativity 30 years later is pathetic. An entire album of covers? Seriously? You sir are indeed a symbol of endless, hopeless, fruitless, aimless games.
He did it for the sake of expanding their audience past only crust punks. It worked on me, I have been listening to the originals about 5 times as much now that I hear the amazing lyricism behind them. I don't see what the problem behind trying to promote a nearly dead band because he loves them is. Perhaps you could explain that to me?
If you can you should seriously buy the album. Jeffrey Lewis does an amazing job on every song, and he donates half of anything he makes to charities. I couldn't take this CD out of the player for about a month. Its worth the money. I love pirating just as much as the next person but this album was worth every penny and then some.
@Coco92144 Couldnt agree more mate. I mean it's almost a Crass album, the least you can do is get your hands in your big fat pockets and splash some of that dirty money that you pretend to feel so guilty about having.
