A little over a week ago, we heard a preview of the Father/Daughter release Faux Real II compilation that was originally supposed to come out for Record Store Day 2015 with LVL UP’s take on “Somebody Kill Me” from the Wedding Singer. Today, we bring you more late 90s/early 2000s nostalgia with Krill’s take on the “Billy Madison Victory Song.”
If you are part of the “90s kid” generation, there is no way you don’t know most of the words to this song. Krill sings all of the parts, including the creepy bit the clown sings that we all thought was dead. Listen to the glee-filled cover as there really is no other way to describe Krill’s cover of the victory song from Billy Madison. It has all of the necessary components of successful internetting—a cool band putting an indie-ish twist on a song we all know the words to from our youth. It is everything, it is literally perfect, and OMG we seriously cannot even right now.
The Boston three-piece’s cover of the song from the 1995 Adam Sandler classic comes off Father/Daugher Records’ second release in their Faux Real series. Other highlights from it include Chumped doing a cover Sex Bob-Bomb’s song from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World that would still rip regardless of movie-tie ins, LVL UP’s cover of “Somebody Kill Me Please” from that uh, lesser Adam Sandler movie (which you can listen to at the bottom), and Small Wonder doing “Margerine” from The Simpsons which, SORRY, BRO, is post-golden era Simpsons . There’s lots more wonderful 90s nostalgia on it—a cover of “Killer Tofu” from Doug, a song from The Adventures of Pete & Pete, and some other good stuff.
Listen to Krill’s Billy Madison cover below, which we have dubbed Krilly Madison. Faux Real II is out on April 28th and will be limited to an insanely small number of copies and won’t be available digitally or repressed.
