Songs I want to see covered by Steam Powered Giraffe and why:
Title: Save Me, San Francisco
Original Artists: Train
Imagined SPG Lead: Rabbit
Reason why I want this to happen: I think SPG are based in San Fran?
Change the lyrics: not exactly necessary, but may be needed in small places
[Edit: Yes, I now know they’re in San Diego. Which also scans, so more lyric changes will be necessary. Forgive me for being a noob?]
Random SPG headcannon
None of the heroes sung about by SPG actually die.
Captain Albert Alexander went to Atlantis (and got bullshittium youth treatments)
Rex Marksley was abducted by aliens
As was Jimmy Wright and Lilly Airheart
And they’ll all team up and adventure together in a future comic or album.
So ner.
