Click to viewPower pop meets proto-hardcore punk. The Posies covers The Germs Ritchie Dagger's Crime. From a Germs tribute album-from what I've heard most of the other covers are usually punk-ish/hardcore-ish. Then we get Darby Crash meets flower children. I love it!
The original song:
Lyrics:
I'm Richie Dagger
I can stomp and swagger
I can take on all your heroes
I'm Richie Dagger
I'm young and haggard
The boy that nobody owns
He sits in his corner like a child despised
A crazy sort of cast comes over his eyes-
That's Richie Dagger's crime
He's the sort of boy who was never much loved
His idea of fun was society's grudge-
That's Richie Dagger's crime
His life was a mess
And his friend's weren't quite the best
But he was satisfied-
That's Richie Dagger's crime
Suck me in and spit me out
Devour me in haste
He could set your mind ablaze
With sparkling eyes and visionary case
He stood like the remnant of an outbreak past
Wore something in his ear and
Boy was he sass--
