VIDEO: THE PERFORMA-CHORDS COVER THE KINKS' "WAIT 'TIL THE SUMMER COMES ALONG" (1981)

Once again I have mined the cassette tape archives to bring you another Kinks cover version from '80s Midwestern punk rock legends, The Performa-Chords! This time, we have a Dave Davies composition --  the sweet folky moper "Wait 'Til The Summer Comes Along" was released by the Kinks in the fall of 1965. It's certainly a favorite Kinks song of mine to this day. Anyway, in introduction please allow me to remind you of the UNBREAKABLE RULES of The Performa-Chords:

1. ABSOLUTELY NO REHEARSING.

2. NO DO-OVERS.

3. Use whatever instruments or non-instruments are around.

4. Anyone can play. If you are in the room, playing is MANDATORY.

5. Alcohol will be served. A LOT OF IT.

6. After a song title is announced and the cassette recorder is turned on, BEGIN PLAYING!

The Performa-Chords cheerily mangled "Wait 'Til The Summer Comes Along" in the fall of 1981. The instrumentation is as follows:

Kevin: Acoustic guitar and vocals
Marianne: Electric guitar and vocals
Dena: slide whistle
??? - tambourine and drumsticks

If you want to listen to this over and over again on your iPod, by GOD you can download this for the FREES over at my Soundcloud!

Forgive us, Dave. See Rule #5.

WHEEEE!!
