[1][2] The first single released from the album was a cover of the James Ingram and Michael McDonald R&B hit Yah Mo B There.
[3] Qro magazine wrote "While some of the artists aren’t so surprising, such as KISS, Alice Cooper, or even INXS, (they’ve covered INXS single “Never Tear Us Apart” live), there are also some that go more indie such as Pixies & Talking Heads, plus the likes of Roky Erickson and The Jam.
And the songs chosen generally aren’t the career-making singles, save The Jam’s amazing “That’s Entertainment” & Alice Cooper’s “No More Mister Nice Guy”, but the tier below such as Pixies’ “Hey”, Talking Heads’ “Slippery”, and INXS’ “Don’t Change”.
In general, the songs are more altered the further they are out of Electric Six’s wheelhouse, so not much for “Nice Guy”, but a funkified “Slippery”.
