Willy Deville "Hey Joe"

Helge Schneider and The Firefuckers "Hey Joe"

I know everybody and their second cousin covers Hey Joe at some point in their life. That said, when I first listened to Willy Deville’s rendition I laughed almost to the point of tears, my inner rock and roller purist self felt appalled for half a minute, then quickly moved into the groove. Then I just had to listen to it a couple more times.

If you want to know what Hey Joe meets Weird Al Yankovic at the spaghetti western sounds like, and yes, I think you really do, listen to Helge Schneider and the Firefuckers. Consider yourself warned.

What’s on your mind tonight?
