DEÄTHMÜFFIN UPDATE: TOUCH ME! TOUCH ME!

[defrog]

It's another update from Banäna Deäthmüffins, kids!

Turns out that our fans like it when we play songs we didn’t write. The response to our cover of Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff” has been particularly gratifying. So we decided to try our luck again with another favorite classic track by the band.

Namely, “Touch Me” by Samantha Fox.

But that turned out to be trickier than we thought. The song is easy enough to learn to play – the sticking point was trying to figure out the right approach. We tried a Stadium Rock version similar to our treatment of “Hot Stuff”, but somehow it sounded tired. Then we tried a cheesy 80s version, which just didn’t quite gel. And finally, for no real reason, we thought we’d try a laid-back Leon Redbone-style take on it.

This got results.

Granted, they weren’t quite the results we had in mind, mainly because we don’t know any jazz chords, and dEFROG can’t sing anything like Leon Redbone.

But we’re still pretty happy with the results.

And here they are.
