covers better then the orignal tuesday: come on eileen- save ferris

I'm a little sad about using this song for today's song of the week because I actually wanted to write a whole post about this blog but I always forgot so I will synopsis the band and what they do, later I'll make something more complete. but now I will talk about just one of this bands song, come on Eileen.

First lets talk a little about the band,save Ferris, who were a huge thing in the late 90's in so cal (southern California: the land of my existence). one of the many ska bands that rose and fell in that time and place in the world. they were one of the many that didn't make it because of various different reasons, like changing the style of music or disbanding to tackle different projects. that's where save Ferris is categorized..

now this song is probably the most known song and also the most mainstream. This also in my opinion is one of the greatest ska cover songs ever (that's something to write about). This song just has a great fun loving energy that the original didn't have to this level. also the added horn section actually complements very well with the speed up tempo, and finally I want to talk about the main singer Monique Powell who puts out all the stops in this song she just puts this song over the top and makes it great, she has what very few musical artist actually have, the ability to sing! best example in this son in particular is the end where she keeps here voice at super level for a real long time with her last "Eileen" she puts all her effort , and i love it.
