COVER FRIDAY: Kids in America performed by The Muffs - I was so into this band when they dropped their eponymous album in 1993. They arose from the ashes of a disbanded all-female LA garage rock band, The Pandoras, with members Kim Shattuck and Melanie Vammen. While Melanie has since left, The Muffs have still been going strong with Kim on vocals.
Kids in America is originally a song by British pop singer Kim Wilde, a song that has had its share of renditions. This is by far my favorite version though with Kim’s unique, gravelly voice and the hard-driving rhythm while still keeping the spirit of this incredibly catchy pop tune.
