Violent Femmes - Please don't go

[bradgotch]

I was a self tormented teen and these guys made sense, takes me straight back to 1987.

[iammready]

Nothing less than sweet!

[jakenfriedlove]

this bands live performances remind me of sublime's live performances. both bands are a lot better live, too. not that they aren't good on studio recordings

[Bannah]

ahhh, that bassline. <3

LOVE Violent Femmes this rocks

[bbvoiceover]

Almost made it, man. I saw them in 2005. Short set but they were good.

[sydfloyds]

are these cats still together/ anybody know?

[bbosstjan]

Unfortunately not. They got into a huge fight about Gordon selling song rights to a fast food chain - and they had issues before.

[xRIKTERx]

haha...you see how many comments were solely about the baconater?...seems like he picked the right sandwich to sell out to...haha

[jowo13]

very true.when they need the money they will be back touring.lol

[quazzimoto6]

lol thats how i found out about the femmes. the Wendy's baconator commercial, that shit taste good

[eggsinsidethetomato]

It is an fact amazing

[starbucksROX12345]

Yeah, probably the best thing on the menu. Also, according to Wikipedia, the cover they did of Crazy came out after the Wendy's incident, so there is still a liiiiiittle bit of hope, I guess. I'm mad I never got to see them.

[sydfloyds]

cool version--

[stopkillingwhales]

seen them twice theyre the best band in the world .

[carribbeandreams2004]

I like all the femmes songs. I did not start to listen to the femmes until 1991 when I first heard "Add it Up". Why Can't I Get Just One Kiss...LOL I was lifeguarding at a lake and of course I had to blast the part "Just One ..." when the babes were around. :) Unfortunately it took that long for me to even hear about the femmes. But they are great.

[musmma]

What album is that song on, or was it a live only thing?

[vedder8579]

This is off their self-titled debut album (1982). Granted, this version is a little more souped up, but still one of my absolute favorite femmes tunes :)

[aginghipster]

this song has the potential to be a great polka!

[imatvsavage]

My favorite Femmes song! Too awesome!

[dmaire1220]

I seen them and they rock ......and it is one big party . Way back when it was just like a party :)
