What's The Connection? Pills 1

This might be hard to swallow, but I started this WTC because my wife asked me if I had heard Eminem doing a song she had heard at work. I not only had heard it, I knew it was D12. Considering she's from Detroit, I was surprised she had never heard before that night. Either way it made me think of doing a connection of Pills songs. And here it is. A little rap, a little country, rock-a-billy, reggae, punk and pop. I figure you'll like something here. One pill to make you small and the ones mother gives you are no fun at all.

  1. One pill to make you small and the ones mother gives you are no fun at all....
    Indeed, she keeps them to herself, those Mother's Little Helpers.

  2. Thanks -- there's some great stuff on here! You happen to have included some of my all-time favorite artists -- the Cramps, the NY Dolls, and Robbie Fulks. I figure you would already know that the Cramps and Dolls tracks are cover versions (of songs by Macy Skipper and Bo Diddley respectively), but I'd just like to add that, for me, the Dolls rendition of "Pills" is a rare example of a cover that's at least as good as, maybe even better than the original.

    1. I'd have to agree with you 100%. First time I heard the NY Dolls I was blown away. Of course I had the same reaction of the Cramps
