- On their 2004 release, RUIN JONNY'S BAR MITZVAH, punk-rock supergroup/cover band Me First & the Gimme Gimmes conspire to do just that with their trademark caffeinated versions of 13 great bar mitzvah band hits (and a blessing). For no more than the retail price of a full-length disc, you'll be hearing their sensitive tribute to weekend guitar-store heroes everywhere, "Stairway to Heaven," along with the inspirationally misplaced "Auld Lang Syne," and an unnaturally accelerated version of the Carpenters' "Superstar." But wait--there's more! You'll thrill to Swingin' Utters' bassist and Gimmes vocalist Spike Slawson's take on the bar mitzvah classic "Havah Nagila," here performed to the tune of "Feliz Navidad" (resulting in what sounds like the confusion of all concerned), and Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett's shredding of the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever." You'll pogo to the band's take on Blondie's "Heart of Glass," you'll gasp at their strangely competent version of Helen Reddy's (and Tanya Tucker's) "Delta Dawn," and you'll plotz at Lagwagon drummer Dave Raun's incendiary performance on Styx's "Come Sail Away." Operators are standing by.
Professional Reviews Alternative Press (p.84) - 5 stars out of 5 - "[I]nspired, brilliant - and guaranteed to usher you into manhood."

This album is off the hook. It captures the whole essence of the gimmes, I laughed till I cried...Recorded live at Jonny Wixen's Bar Mitzvah a great performance by the best (cover) band in the world.

this is a crazy album from me first and the gimme gimme gimmes, especially since i hadnt heard any of their other albums before i heard this one, so i was like what the heck, it is punk covers of old hits, such as stairway to heaven! but having said that, this album is pretty catchy and cool, so its a decent buy.
