2023 Electric Callboy. They’re also German, sexy as hell, and cover the Cascada version, with over-the-top scenery and choreography.

Poor Mans Opera (novel excerpt)
Okay, that's it for covers of Simmer Down. This last song is by The Toasters (ska) and it has the word "down" in the title: Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down. It's not really related, but it's good clean fun. Skank the night away, rude boys and rude girls!
