Description:

Whether or not Me First and the Gimme Gimmes were successful in their attempt to Ruin Jonny's Bar Mitzvah depends, naturally, on Jonny. If he's a fan of pop (and circumstance) classics reconfigured as punk, Jonny's special day must have been quite a treat because that's what he got. The Gimmes brought their tongue-in-cheek sneering delivery and souped-up versions on hits such as "Take it on the Run" and "Strawberry Fields Forever." Me First even tackles "Stairway to Heaven" here. And, as you might guess, "Hava Nagila" closes the set. This CD is a low-brow party favor, perfect for 13-year-old boys actually. Others may be worn a little thin depending on how hilarious they find a rocked-up "Delta Dawn." Still, the band barrels through this party of friends and relatives with plenty of charm. Listeners will visualize the Bar Mitzvah dance floor while they place bets on whether or not Richard Cheese gets billed at Jonny’s prom. --John Moe

4Definite Buy  Aug 16, 2007
If you like Me First and the Gimme Gimme's brand of rocked up cover songs, then you will like this album. It's a good sounding live recording complete with screw ups and the usual humurous inbetween song banter. A couple of the song selections aren't that great but I enjoy most of them. I'd rate it a definite buy if you dig the Gimme's.

5Best Damn Cover Band In The World pt 5...  Jun 27, 2007
...Oh dear, poor old Wojo below just doesn't get it boys and girls. These guys prove that practice does make a perfectly good live album. Tongue-in-cheek on so many levels with deadly serious musician-ship - a lethal compination that shows that Me First are not just studio brats.
Shalom from the best damn cover band in the world!

Taking great songs and ruining them with screaming and every song sounds the same. There are about a million other things better to do with your money and time.

5Gutsy  Feb 04, 2007
Man, these guys got guts to blatantly put out a CD & video based on a bad bar mitzvah. I've been a Gimmes fan for about 5 years and this one is for fans really. If you are starting off on Gimmes you are better off listening to the earlier stuff like "Have A Ball", "Are A Drag", etc.

5Real entertainers  Jul 29, 2006
I got this after I heard 'Are A Drag' and figured that it couldn't be for real. Well, I'm sure that it is. These guys are great. I turned a lot of people onto them that wouldn't even get into punk but know these songs and enjoy what they do with them. The quality of the recording is pretty amazing. It might be lame to say, but it's probably one of the best live recordings that I've come across. Their remakes of tunes are just great and you can tell that they are pretty serious about their love for the music that they do. I didn't cringe like one reviewer did at Stairway to Heaven, it was as short as it needed to be without being blasphemous. The singing is really great on this and the things that they say between the songs are quite humorous. One wish? They recorded their break (which was kind of odd but not unlike them probably) so that it ate up time on the disc. I would've like more songs, they were just sounding great!! If you like music because it entertains you, this is for you. I am a pro musician and usually analyze music. I don't to this; it's meant to be for enjoying and nothing else.
