Gimme Gimme American Idol
March 5th, 2008
I enjoy reading the roundups of American Idol from Dave, Idolator, and Balko, but I was surprised that no one (not even commenters, I think) noticed that David Cook’s version of “Hello” was entirely ripped off from Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
Ok, not entirely ripped off, it was a little slower, but if you’re doing a rock version of a Lionel Richie song that has to be the first band that comes to mind.
Anyway, I hope he keeps this up. Maybe for Beatles week he can do “All My Loving,” from the classic Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Blow in the Wind.

I noticed he ripped off Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, two weeks in a row, It was good however.
I don’t think he ripped off Me First the second week, it was a little more emo than straight punk. That Doxology sure seems like the right band.
