"AMERICA'S HIT REMAKERS" IS AVAILABLE NOW HERE .
Wire's coming back again
Elastica got sued by them
When Michael Jackson dies
we're covering "Black Bird"
And won't it be absurd when
no one knows what song they just heard
unless someone on the radio
tells them first
So come on, come on, come on, come
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
You monkeys
"Welcome To The Monkey House"
The Dandy Warhols
"America's Hit Remakers", Frankenstein 3000's tribute to the bands and songs that influenced them throughout their lives, is being released this summer on Main Man Records. The album was recorded over the course of a year, originally intended to compile the various covers F3K had contributed to tribute CDs in 2004. The project soon took on a life of it's own and the band was back in the studio throughout the winter of 2005.
In addition to the previously released F3K versions of the Cheap Trick song "Lookout" and Sweet's "Blockbuster" the CD also features The New York Dolls' "Babylon", recorded with Dolls' frontman extraordinaire David Johansen. Inspired by the collaboration, Frankenstein 3000 took a chance and invited such punk luminaries as The Runaways' vocalist Cherie Currie (dueting with F3K's Keith Roth on the Runaways' "American Nights"), the Dead Boys' Cheetah Chrome (singing on the Ramones' "Bop 'Til You Drop"), Generation X guitarist Derwood Andrews (on Joe Jackson's "I'm The Man") and The Dictators' "Handsome" Dick Manitoba (backing vocals on the Ramones' "Rockaway Beach"). The centerpiece of the album comes in the form of the T Rex classic "20th Century Boy", with Leif Garret, Dolls guitarist Steve Conte and Mars Needs Women's Shawn Mars joining Frankenstein 3000 in what sounds like it must have been a wild night in the studio.
Opening with The Dandy Warhols' "Welcome To The Monkeyhouse", "America's Hit Remakers" also includes songs originally recorded by The Beatles, Queen, Redd Kross, The Wildhearts, Velvet Underground, The Dictators and The Pretenders.
