If they ever go to Kansas City and I hear about it, I'm there. I might even travel a bit for it. We were listening to this stuff back in college 2000-05. I'm not sure how to say ?oughts?.
Marty McFly You'll have a blast! Masked Intruder (support) are great too, I saw them in Amsterdam. And honestly, Jay has made that bass spot his own, he's a true Gimme, you won't be disappointed 🤘
This band has the unique ability to cover songs I utterly despise and make them fun. Much of what they cover is stuff I totally avoid in the original versions.
Never heard the Rainbow Connection, looked it up, was originally performed by Kermit the Frog. Paused this video, listened to Kermit for a bit - Diggin' it - and then came back to this video, unpaused at the exact point in the song that I stopped listening to Kermit's version. What can I say, I'm easy to please
LOVE these guys. Came to find them through being a NOFX fan. If your younger kids love punk rock (mine has since 6yrs old) this is the BEST - old school favorite songs you can share without needing to censor. Hands down one of the best vocal abilities of our time. PLEASE COME TO CANADA for a show!!!!
At the end of UPTOWN GIRL you can hear Spike say the Suicidal Tendencies "It doesn't matter I'll probably get hit by a bus anyway". Classic! The only othef punk cover band is PUNK ROCK FACTORY. But they're Canadian so they get 2nd place!

Wow that guitar open on Summertime sounds just like a surf guitar played in Cambodia before Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge murdered millions including most of the musicians and artists. Check out the film Don't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock and Roll.
❤whats so amazing that keeps us star gazing. One in the same. Someday well find it the rainbow connection. Yeah i love Spike Slawson! Viva utters viva me first....
i usually hate covers but I like all these songs on this album and i love how they have translated these songs into punk rock becuase i also love punk rock.
sooooo f.....g great......Guys, forget Canada, come to good old Germany😀😀😛 Sorry Louise Platiel, after visiting Germoney, they play a lot of Shows in your wonderful Country.......Cheers Maám
The Steve Goodman version of City Of New Orleans got me out of the worst bad trip I've ever had, and this is the best version of that song that I've ever heard!
Holly shit! Fat Wreck Chords!! Got my first few CD's at the Gilman in Berkeley CA in the late 90's. Fucking awesome to hear this again, I need to dig out those old cd's!
I always thought the break down spoken word part of end of the road was joey saying "hey dave", not "hey babe"...funnier if he was professing his fondness of dave ruan
I'm psyched to see these guys for the first time ever tomorrow night at the Sunshine in Albuquerque. 50th birthday present from the wife. Maybe they'll play the NOFX birthday song. LOL.
That's a good thing I think - if he was/is anything like I was/is - but much less so now days - and in fact if you make it into your fifties in even a half assed state of being (mentally and physically, then you've done better than most of my friends - 'live fast dye young" is a slogan not a revolutionary life. So I do wish mike good healt, as all the Me first boys. Doesn't mean we cant tear it up ever now and then when the moon strikes. FUck it,, Mike and the boys are still killing it - with or without a few extra pounds, and I think living like in the own terms. Of that I am envious.
I love you guys, but this album is a bigger money grab than the rest of them. Joey, I met you in Portland on your solo acoustic tour at Dantes. You are better than this dude. Tour idea: NOfx, Swinging Utters, and Lagwagon. Fucking give everyone what hey want. Railer was sick btw
I once was at a festival to watch the Gimmes and the guy in front of me was like "Do they have their own songs? All they are playing are covers.. Fuck that Band!" Must be a real big fan!
That can be said about any collection by a band that has produced so much material. I could have done without some of the songs but then there are also some bloody effing good tunes on here as well. To each his own and you cant make everyone happy so why even bother. Maybe they can do a Greatest Hits II. Personally I would prefer cd with all new material. ALSO, DOES ANYONE GET THE IMPRPESSION SOME OF THESE SONGS HAVE BEEN REMASTERED? I'm not knocking them for doing it because, but perhaps its the beer, some of these sound more powerful than I remember. Anyway, Good job guys - "Gimme Gimme Gimme . .. Gimme Some More!!!"
Brilliant. So brilliant. am probably the oldest Gimmes fan in the universe. Cant wait to see the Gimmes in NYC at Webster Hall. Sorry that Steve Goodman is no longer with us. He would have absolutely loved the Gimmes version of City of New Orleans. Maybe they'll play at my memorial service or funeral or something.
“Good mornin’ America how are yaah???” Their version of City of New Orleans is better than the original!
If you haven't seen these guys yet, please do. They are great musicians, playing great covers and having a great time.

Seeing them in Auckland NZ next week. Can't wait!
If they ever go to Kansas City and I hear about it, I'm there. I might even travel a bit for it. We were listening to this stuff back in college 2000-05. I'm not sure how to say ?oughts?.
Yeah I saw them back in 96 or 97 on warp tour
Indeed! You leave their shows with an amped up heart!
quien te lo dijo?
In a couple of weeks I'll be seeing the Gimmes for the 10th time (in 6 different countries).
This is why! ⬆️⬆️⬆️
Jamie C I get to see them for the first time in a couple weeks. I wish Mike was touring with them though
Marty McFly You'll have a blast! Masked Intruder (support) are great too, I saw them in Amsterdam. And honestly, Jay has made that bass spot his own, he's a true Gimme, you won't be disappointed 🤘
Saw them in Detroit less than a month ago. Spike said that Mike's busy bathing in our money. :/
I'm seeing them tomorrow, and it's my first concert ever.
Nice. You're going to have a blast.
good 👍

El-Creepo did a cover that works well with the Kermit video.
Listen to Leftover Crack's version: Muppet NAMBLA
Wow! Never heard it! Guess there’s so much music out there it’s nigh impossible to know even a fraction of a genre!
Hush little baby don't you cry
Fuck yeah

I love these guys! I met fat Mike at a warp tour show. In Vancouver. Fat Mike was rude as fuck 😩.I was disappointed 🥺
!
Today, I’m going to see both nofx and me first for the first time in my life, after 17 years of listening to them!

I’ve always wondered what he was saying. It sounds like Mike replies with “when did that happen?”

Gustavo L Thanx man!
shuukito thank you!
they forgot o sole mio.... :(
Yeah nothing from the Bar Mitzvah that I can see. Bummer.
This is what I call a Superband
They should release this as a double disc with karaoke versions of all the songs!
I know, half these songs arent worth a damn not done by the gimmies. But kinda fun to do em like them with their original music.
actually works pretty well in most cases
hell yeah!

The songs they choose to cover and of course their awesome punk style is great!
i usually hate covers but I like all these songs on this album and i love how they have translated these songs into punk rock becuase i also love punk rock.
damn summertime is WAY better punk
Rawwwwk !
sounds great, but how the hell is there on 17 tracks on this thing? I mean really where is the other half of the cd?
sooooo f.....g great......Guys, forget Canada, come to good old Germany😀😀😛 Sorry Louise Platiel, after visiting Germoney, they play a lot of Shows in your wonderful Country.......Cheers Maám
oh boy! now i can hear these songs in a different order. great.
Some B sides on here which I really like and are not on other albums, FYI.
Its literally called Rake It In...and has a picture of them raking in money. You must be really fun at parties.
You're literally on TH-cam, listening to the album for free, dummy. What the hell do you have to complain about?
@@ChewyThomson my wife divorcing me
🤘🙏
Why isn't I Just Called To Say I Love You on here???
End of the road is on another level!! What a song 🤩🤩
Where's danny's song????? Seriously?
Dog Mayor in the worst song's album
@@shuukito HAHHAHAHAHAHA
They forgot a lot of good songs, like Goodbye Earl, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, I Just Called To Say I Love You, Ben, Heart of Glass
The Steve Goodman version of City Of New Orleans got me out of the worst bad trip I've ever had, and this is the best version of that song that I've ever heard!
Holly shit! Fat Wreck Chords!! Got my first few CD's at the Gilman in Berkeley CA in the late 90's. Fucking awesome to hear this again, I need to dig out those old cd's!
Greatest Band EVER.....I wish I can sing like Spike!
Is that fat mike with mohawk
Yes
me first is the greatest songwriter of all time wow he must be over 100 he wrote summertime
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes is always a party. I wish they do shows that last for 2 hours!
Oh Yes. THANK YOU FAT MIKE !
that bass tone
city of new orleans!! yes!!
buying the rights to all these songs don't come cheap, so we release them again to recoup the costs...
I wish witchy woman was after desperado.
HELL YES. I LISTEN TO THIS SONG ALMOST EVERYDAY DAY.5/5/2017. Boise ID.
Hats Off To Larry is so awesome! Thanks for this remaster, the guitars still sound a little bizarre, but a little better now.
this was basically their set list when I saw them at Riot Fest, more or less
Fat Mike is a legend
Fat Mike is GAY AS FUCK.
@@9THLVLand you’re not?
We need some all new material, (of covers) gentlemen. Digging the b-sides, and a good comp regardless.
I always thought the break down spoken word part of end of the road was joey saying "hey dave", not "hey babe"...funnier if he was professing his fondness of dave ruan
“Dave Raun on the dru-“
Critiques pas 1.2,3 si tu comprends pas
wish Sunday Morning Coming Down or (I'm Much Too Young) To Feel so Old were on here, but good album none the less.
FORZA HORIZON 5 HOTWHEEL DLC TRAILER!!
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes: Taking every song to the 90s ever since '95
damn good
City of New Orleans 👌👌
But aren't they already ALL hits? I might already own all of these. :-)
I know I do
Me First greatest hits is an oxymoron
A greatest hits compilation, without HELLO is a hit AND miss !!!! HELLOOOOO!!!!
Is it me you’re looking forrrrrr??
I'm psyched to see these guys for the first time ever tomorrow night at the Sunshine in Albuquerque. 50th birthday present from the wife. Maybe they'll play the NOFX birthday song. LOL.
Seeing them tomorrow for the first time.
saw these guys years ago in Raleigh NC would love to see em again best show I ever went to
I saw them in 2017 in Boston, MA. It was my first time seeing them. I loved it! I’ve been a huge fan for many years but they never tour around here!
Fat Mike looks a bit thinner than I expected, don't ya think?
He skipped a meal.
cocaine
Sean Rook And went straight to desert Blow lmao 😂😂

he's not really that fat.
I LOVE THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What year tho?
Bla bla bla

Spike, Opera Singer; among other jobs. Updated CV.
This could have easily been twice as long...and still all hits!
Best album , Best Band, EVER
all hits!!!
I love you guys, but this album is a bigger money grab than the rest of them. Joey, I met you in Portland on your solo acoustic tour at Dantes. You are better than this dude. Tour idea: NOfx, Swinging Utters, and Lagwagon. Fucking give everyone what hey want. Railer was sick btw
This album rules
THEY'RE BACK!!!
Creative Linoleum they never went anywhere.....
gimmie gimmie!!!
no I'll be there?
YES YES GIMME GIMMES ARE THEIR FOR MORE
I once was at a festival to watch the Gimmes and the guy in front of me was like "Do they have their own songs? All they are playing are covers.. Fuck that Band!" Must be a real big fan!
That guy sucks
what a horrible collection... they have way better songs that could have replaced some of these. "Goodbye Earl" should have been on here.
OK! FISH? Music or Danny's Song
OK! FISH? Music or rocket man
That can be said about any collection by a band that has produced so much material. I could have done without some of the songs but then there are also some bloody effing good tunes on here as well. To each his own and you cant make everyone happy so why even bother. Maybe they can do a Greatest Hits II. Personally I would prefer cd with all new material.

OK! FISH? Music I’m with you for goodbye Earl. Don’t cry for me argentina should also be here
I was perfectly happy with this collection until you mentioned it. Rocket Man, Danny's Song, Crazy... I could go on and on
puta que son bnkes estos xuxetumaires,saludos desde Chile
大好きです！

So many good songs missing…
Yo, Leaving on a Jet Plane is missing!
My fave
A lot of good songs are missing
Do they bring out a new album in 2020?!

Brilliant. So brilliant. am probably the oldest Gimmes fan in the universe. Cant wait to see the Gimmes in NYC at Webster Hall. Sorry that Steve Goodman is no longer with us. He would have absolutely loved the Gimmes version of City of New Orleans. Maybe they'll play at my memorial service or funeral or something.
