It was my birthday last week and Jamie sent me this wonderful cover of Pink Elephants on Parade and since this is Request Friday I thought it would be a good idea to fulfill craziemutant's request for this Dumbo acid trip.
Hailing from San Fran and known for their crazy on stage antics and "sinister swing", LEE PRESS-ON & THE NAILS have proven themselves as a swing band, especially when they won the California Music Award in 1998 for Best Swing/Cabaret Act.
Although they formed in 1994, their first album wasn't released until 1998. Since then they released three other albums, their newest being EL BANGO EN FUEGO! in 2002 which includes this cover of Pink Elephants.
I would love to see these guys live because of all the stuff I read about their live show, but it seems like they have only played a few shows in the last few years.

This is very stange (in the good sense of the word) cover, that is certainly going to grow on me.
Oh wow this is a really neat cover! This part of the movie always freaked me out as a kid.
