Hear Real Bands Tackle Fake Songs From THE WEDDING SINGER, ALMOST FAMOUS And More!

For anyone who ever wished a real band would cover fake songs by imaginary TV and movie characters, have we got the compilation for you!

On April 25, Father/Daughter Records will release the second volume of Faux Real, a collection of would-be hits from the big and small screen as covered by actual bands of, like, today’s music scene.

In our humble opinion, highlights definitely include Rivergazer’s version of “Fever Dog,” originally performed by the band Stillwater in Almost Famous, and Running In The Fog’s stab at “Killer Tofu,” which SNICK (Saturday Night Nickelodeon) fans remember from the cartoon Doug.

Oh, and who could ignore LVL UP’s cover of “Somebody Kill Me Please,” the beloved woe-is-me ode from The Wedding Singer.

In case you can’t remember how the original goes, allow Adam Sandler‘s jheri curl to jog your memory.

Still hungry for more hits? Check out the other bands — and songs — featured on Faux Real II.
