Yeah, CAKE have passed their spotlight moment, but we've got a soft spot in our hearts for the California band's clever, pastiche funk (and especially "Short Skirt/Long Jacket"). The band's releasing B-Sides and Rarities, a collection featuring just what you'd think, plus some cover action. CAKE covering Barry White is a must:
CAKE - "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up" (MP3)
And here's their take on Black Sabbath, which isn't quite as strong as their Barry.
CAKE - "War Pigs" (MP3)
For "War Pigs" covers, Faith No More's is king. We'd like to hear CAKE cover Lionel Richie to settle this once and for all.
