Can’t Hardly Wait, A Retrospective: Covered

By Wolfdog | Filed under Can't Hardly Wait, In Love With That Song, Seen Your Video |

It’s time to wrap up my little nerdy journey through the history of one song. This week’s videos show that there are a lot of bands who are also fans of this song. The only one I have witnessed knocking out a Can’t Hardly Wait is Dash Rip Rock from New Orleans, but judging from what I found plenty have found inspiration to play it themselves.

But first, one more Paul Westerberg solo version. This is from the 2002 solo tour (the one I thought didn’t contain any CHW’s, thanks for the corrections).

…I’ll be home when I’m sleeping….

Here’s Marah

And more from bars across the nation. You have to respect the love in all of them.

    This is impressive. In a really nerdy, obsessive way.

    Wilco doesn’t suck, Marah does!

    I have a recording of Wilco doing Color Me Impressed, but not CHW.
