Mountain Goats appreciation month #9

After talking about a Mountain Goats song that's actually an Extra Glenns song I'm going to take it one step further now and talk about a cover song next.
It's an acoustic cover/mashup of "The boys are back in town"(Thin Lizzy) and "Ignition [Remix]" (R.Kelly).
As it's not a Mountain Goats song it's not about fucked up people in fucked up situations! Great, huh!

Listen to it here:
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

or here:
the Mountain Goats - The Boys Are Back In Town (Thin Lizzy)

I'm posting the lyrics anyway:


Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys who had been away
Hadn't changed, hadn't much to say
I still think those guys are great

They were asking if you'd been around
How you was, where you could be found
Told 'em you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy

The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(the boys are back in town)


You remember that chick who used to dance a lot?
Every night she'd be on the floor, shaking what she'd got
Man, when I tell you was cool, she was red hot
I mean, she was steaming

And that time over at Johnny's place
Well this chick she got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't wanna know, then forget her

G
The boys are back in town
(the boys are back in town)
the boys are back in town
(the boys are back in town)


Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town
Spread the word around

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
Drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
I said the boys are back in town

The boys are back in town
(the boys are back, the boys are back, the boys are back)
The boys are back in town, yeah


It's the remix to ignition

Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rollin' that body
Got every man in here wishin'
Sippin' on Coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freakin' weekend baby
I'm about to have me some fun

Crystal poppin in the stretch navigator
We got food everywhere
as if this party was catered
Fellas on my left
And honeys to my right
You put em both together
And we'll party all night, yeah.
