Band idea
I was rocking out last night, driving home, listening to Cake. I just love the simplicity and clarity of the music. You can’t hide behind it.
I decided that I’d be happy in a Cake cover band.
And that’s when I thought of the name:
Retorte.
I was writing to a friend about you the other day when I came up with a good new band name: Tattoo Guru. (And, yes, you were the guru in question.)
Ooh, and if they did a kids’ cover band of Cake (a la the Wiggles), perhaps they could be the Cupcakes?
Oooh! Nice.
I feel like Steve Carrell on The Office, trying to come up on the next good pun. Uhhh, ahhhh. Muffintop. Damn. 30 Rock already did that one.
Oh, I am so down for a Cake cover band.
Start perfecting your “heeeeeeeeey-hoooooooooooooh!”s and “aaaaalllllriiiiiiight”s now.
Or if the members of the cover band were all French, perhaps … Petit Fors?
I’m stopping now, I promise.
Ha! I love it. And I love Cake very much, too!
The punchline is … “Let them all eat Marie!”
The joke, however, I haven’t come up with. Errm.
And we could play with a band called Fruit, and the tour could be sponsored by Fig Newtons.
