Bowling For Soup - London Bridge

When a band we adore plays an unexpected cover live we all love it. The contrast! The novelty! The revelation that what we thought of as a piece of dross is actually a good song after all!

But what happens when a band whose whole act is essentially about novelty mis-matches does an unexpected cover? In the case of Bowling For Soup, the fans apparently slurp it up.

So now the husky Texan funsters are releasing their version of the recent Fergie 'hit' London Bridge as a download only single. The result? Just like all the other Bowling For Soup singles but without a catchy chorus. I suppose we're supposed to go "ha ha, how funny, they're big fat blokes, not a sexy woman." In other words, pointless.
