Like a Morricone-style dirge recorded by The Mamas and The Papas, Violent Femmes’ cover of Gnarls Barkley’s infamous “Crazy” is like nothing you’ve heard from the legendary alt-rock trio before. Their oft-imitated folk-punk sound is flavored with surf-rock guitar and Theremin, creating a tranquility that is somber and otherworldly. Video contest details COMING SOON! (Pre-order available ...

Violent Femmes Cover Gnarls Barkley
Published 6/6/2008 by Stereogum at Stereogum
... and back.) So far less than a minute's streaming, but even from this sound clip we can see that the Femmes are staying pretty true to the original's script: Gano even does the "ha ha ha" where Cee-Lo lays his laugh.

Crazy by The Violent Femmes
Published 6/26/2008 by Scaramouch at YesButNoButYes Stories
A quick recommendation for a new EP by the Violent Femmes, a cover of Gnarls Barkley's Crazy, which is in the iTunes store, and also available as in limited edition blue vinyl. The EP is a smokey, Morricone-inspired version and - in a very smart move - also includes a full instrumental version AND an a cappella version, which will make it even easier for mashup artists everywhere to incorporate it.
