It's on their (fairly) new album Meet the Eels for those who are interested by the way :)
That's great to hear, I've been hoping to find the Eels doing their interpretation of this song on a disc. Ironically, it is their version that got me to listening to Missy Elliott's original. Dig both versions but Eels are owning this song on the video
As far as I'm concerned this is what all covers should be like: a complete reinterpretation. I think this is better than trying to sound like the original. P.S. My favorite part is at 00:01:25,15
I think it's interesting because there are a lot of artists that respect Missy Elliot that people don't initially expect. The Eels have a lot of hip hop in them, and I think a lot of artists recognize that she was one of the most intriguing acts to come out of hip hop in a long time. It's very badass, and they did a good job covering it, with the distortion and what have you. I love this cover, personally.
i love what ur saying. its tru what she is doing 4 hip hop is somthing i dont think alot of people r aware of. but in the future they will see. she is da inovator(i think i spelled it right)she is sooooooooooo sick! lil kim, eve, trina they r all great! but i got to say missy is above n beyond. i loved since the moment i seen her in that black bubble suit in the rain video. she still is da shit!
WTF?! This is amazing. Mark Everett never ceases to amaze me. The man is a genuis and I do not use that word lightly.I hope other people have read his book - makes you sit down and think. Thank you for posting this - the man's talent is incredible.
I remember seeing this on tv. Turned on just before the end and kinda freaked out to see E (who I didn't know other than from Novocaine..) jamming with MIRV. I was pleasantly surprised.
i remember watching this on tv. i turned it on about halfway into the song and i was like "who the hell is this?" my jaw dropped when carson said the eels. i thought "the novocaine band?" i am still in awe of the blinking lights album.
