What the World Needs Now more Gimme Gimme Diva Covers

May 13, 2014

(Guest Post by Matthew Ladner)

New cd is out We Are Not Men, We are Diva. Lady GaGa, Cher, Celine, Paula Abdul, ohhhhh yes, but nothing can beat a Gimmes cover of the Carpenters in my book. Just in case you missed the original:

Obviously there will have to be a sequel to a Gimmes diva album, it is just far too much of a target rich environment.  Some songs begging for tribute/parody/enhancement:

and…

and…

Check that, this one instead…

Who could forget…

I will have a Belinda shaped hole in my heart until the Gimmes cover…

Who can forget Tammy?

Ummm, did someone say Diva?  The Gimmes would have fun with the unofficial theme song of Vegas during the bubble years:

This one isn’t begging for a parody. More like falling on its knees and pleading with tears streaming down its face, even though we all feel like a plastic bag sometimes right?

In any case, this is just scratching the surface Bad Romance, Ooops I did it Again, Umbrella once you get started its hard to stop.  I would have included a late 80s video of Cher running around on a battleship in lingerie and a bomber jacket singing about her desire to violate the Temporal Prime Directive since it aches for a Gimmes send up, but this blog is a family show.  In any case, even before Amazon delivers We are not Men, We are Diva we already need volumes 2 and 3 stat!
