This is right at the top of a short list of my favorite cover songs ever.

[@hal9000xenomorph]

I'm very close by your comment

[@JJONNYREPP]

Les Thugs - Moon Over Marin 1557pm 29.12.23 cover songs are the kindda what gets to me... whether it's this or some dude covering a rapeman song or killdozer raping a neil young composition...

[@thirstyowlthethird9409]

Wow. Genius. It’s as if DK and the Pixies has a gorgeous beautiful child named Les Thugs.

[@pauldainton6718]

One of the best covers on the whole cd

[@sergeysyroyezhkin]

Actually the only good cover in the whole album.

[@MaD_fX]

@@sergeysyroyezhkin That's bullshit, the whole album is excellent

[@user-xr2lv4ll6j]

I have to check this album out. This covers a bit mad, but in a good way.

[@steveg8102]

wow...cool. ive known this song for 35 years...never heard this version...very cool cover

[@jockewiberg6593]

ive known it for more than 39,5 yrs and had never heard it either outstanding song and a pretty good cover

[@Watts660]

I've always liked this version, definitely added something good to the song.

[@xisotopex]

great cover of one of what I think is one of the best DK tracks.... I mean, theres a lot of good ones, but for me, at the time, this stood out, it was a bit different than a lot of other stuff that I was listening to back in 1984

[@SlapthePissouttayew]

Right there with ya, chief. 100💯

[@user-ni9zq7de7o]

Great cover!

[@OmisoXXX]

One of the best covers ever. Merci!!

[@zoranoran]

I really really really like original dk version but this one added some new dimension to it! Great! They reinvented the song!

[@spencergrady5501]

My favourite from this covers album.

[@christophebergeolle4573]

5:28 de frissons... même près des milliers d'écoutes ! Indescriptible

[@alvarorabelo4070]

Top cover ever

[@maverickcommunication]

Merci les gars d'avoir fait le meilleur cover des DK et d'avoir embelli ma jeunesse lors de vos concerts ❤

[@Maxigorito]

yo les thugs ! on vous kiffe ! merci au gars qui a posté !!!!

[@tomholihan4850]

One of the best covers ever.

[@hal9000xenomorph]

The best Punk-Band ever, i swear i would merry them. If i were gay😂

[@andreasdeutinger7319]

i did a karaoke version of this song and not to my surprise nobody knew this song. not even the original version. society is going down for sure.

[@bluemooninthedaylight8073]

Would you be happier if this became a jingle for jeans?

[@andreasdeutinger7319]

Bluemoon in the Daylight no. but a bit more attention to the good stuff that is out there, would do some good to the whole society. wouldn‘t it?

[@bluemooninthedaylight8073]

​@@andreasdeutinger7319 Nothing against you or your comment, I'm just tired of the lack of curiosity in people. If they were to put some thought and passion into their choices, they wouldn't rely on junky pop culture as their only reference point. I also have an aversion to things becoming too popular, because they tend to become equated to something that's only enjoyed on a surface level by the majority of people. My apologies for being snarky.

[@atom_gray]

but there's always a moon over marin. 🌝

[@michelotraynald3079]

merci

[@maverickcommunication]

Les thugs. Great French band. Best cover of the Dead Kennedys

[@gregorymoalic2253]

Juste incontournable !

[@pericasutic8238]

2nd best cover ever. After Husker Du's Eight miles high

[@onlydogknees]

a fine cover of a fine song

[@PhilFelin]

THE best cover ever!!!

[@pericasutic8238]

2nd best ;)

[@Yellow-Square]

fantastic cover

[@didiervidry7687]

Grand.

[@sleazynihilist4405]

Quel délice d'écouter cette reprise des Dead Kennedys par les Thugs, deux groupes cultes.
Mon seul regret, c'est de n'avoir jamais vu les DK mais j'ai eu la chance, voire le privilège, d'avoir vu plusieurs fois les Thugs.

[@onlydogknees]

Don't have a clue about what you're saying, but it might be that you didn't see DK but Les Thugs came close?Anyway, Vive le France.

[@jeanlucmosnier2026]

Bonsoir on s'appelle les Thugs on vient d'Angers !! Enorme fan de la première heure j'adore cette cover

[@tiahurcyril3727]

Un bel hommage aux Dead Kennedys. Et au Punk français...
Des concerts inoubliables...

[@williambellende3264]

The best DK cover by far. But to suggest that it challenges the original? That's just silly.

[@bananacar4779]

Brilliant,I was lucky enough to see these guys in Vancouver,[95' ish].Fantastic band.

[@geraldbeaumont596]

Je me rappelle très bien de ce groupe, j'allais les écouter lorsqu'ils répétaient dans une cave de la Roseraie (49).....

[@pascalleroux6041]

j'ai toujours un frisson a écouter cette reprise des DK.

[@arseescapa7815]

Fantastic cover 👌🏻

[@MetalHearts100]

Damn, this one actually sounds good

[@screenfixer1936]

The crowded future stings my eyes
I still find time to exercise
In uniform with two white stripes
Unlock my section of the sand
It's fenced off to the water's edge
I clamp a gas mask on my head
On my beach at night
Bathe in my moonlight
Another tanker's hit the rocks
Abandoned to spill out its guts
The sand is laced with sticky glops
Oh, shimmering moonlight sheen upon
The waves and water clogged with oil
White gases steam up from the soil
On my beach at night
Bathe in my moonlight
I squish dead fish between my toes
Try not to step on any bones
I turn around and I go home
I slip back through my basement door
Switch off all that I own below
Dive in my scalding wooden tub
My own beach at night
Bathe in my moonlight
'Ight
'Ight
There will always be a moon over Marin
There, wasn't that a nice visit?
Don't forget
A psychiatrist is on duty twenty-four hours a day in the blue room
Just up from the parking garage
Drink plenty of water when you take these
Now you can relax and return to your job!

[@iconicshrubbery]

Like a more harmonic Buzzcocks version of DKs which was like the Sex Pistols. Another version in a different kitchen. Aussi formidable. Spirit of Punk/New wave

[@lynnnordstrom9556]

Yes!

[@szarzyniecszczurzynski1902]

I really like this version.

[@spuffchops70]

Singing is very Huskers-influenced and 'of the time', which is to say, early 1990's throaty harmonies similar to The Senseless Things or The Doughboys, who were causing a bit of stir at the time. Nice!

[@kastelnaudary]

+spuffchops70 This came out in 1992, maybe that's why it sounds so early 90s ;) !

[@claudioortolan2110]

Una cover veramente spaziale rifare i DK in questo modo rende loro onore. C'è virus 100 a disposizione compilation molto interessante ma per me questa è il Top.👋

[@edisontruro2729]

I like the alternative melody in the vocals. No point doing carbon copy covers

[@rcr77737]

❤❤❤😉👋🏻👋🏻🙂

[@stevemendel8173]

This was the best from Virus100..Halloween was good too but this was the best

[@nicolaspintelon4329]

I liked holiday in Cambodja too

[@derekgourney]

Good,, from,shafer, turn up

lusine à reims memorable

[@nono-xu8yq]

de la musique qui me réfléchir !!!!cela marche depuis longtemps,vives les cantonnier est les thugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mattddc]

Original and cover are both amazing. What makes the cover work so well is that it updates the sound but retains the message of self interested corporations fucking the world. To me it reinforces the persistence of the problem of destructive capitalism through changing cultural contexts, but also the enduring beauty of the melody asserts the persistence of hope. Whatever, it's a fucking amazing song. A song for the ages.

[@bhaskarsinha5016]

It’s not about “corporations” but self interested *people*. Marin County is one of the wealthiest places in the world. It’s almost all expensive single family homes. They kept BART from connecting it to the rest of the bay, and even now there are no plans for Marin, even though it’s only connected to SF by a few ferries and the ancient single level Golden Gate bridge that grinds to a standstill every day. But Marin residents prefer it that way, forget “keep the riff raff out”, keep even middle class white collar workers out! The South Bay which is between SF and Santa Cruz where Jello went to college is a similarly wealthy area full of single family homes, although at least it’s now getting BART, electrified CalTrain, and theoretically high speed rail. Also back at that time Marin county was more liberal than Santa Clara county (both are now deep blue), so maybe Jello targeted residents of the former for their hypocrisy. They have a reputation of being environmentalist types but as demonstrated by how they deal with issues like housing and transportation, it’s mostly for show.

[@simonecima4884]

Euro Killer Stylah!
Hey men: great job, to say the least...

[@sargentsignals3729]

Request this on your favorite College Radio Station often...

[@gospodinekrikalev894]

(Trying my best english)
Rationally, a quirky DK song compared to what they usually play, covered by a huge underated french band, the result is stunning! Love this cover, but do understand some don't... And God knows how much I hate covers!

[@atila333]

nice !

[@mosterpunk]

Why didn't i heard of them before? Fucking nice cover!

[@VioladorDeLaLey21]

My thoughts exactly! I just found this gem!
I knew of a cover from Siniestro Total (Spanish Punk band) I like this one too.

[@ThePunkmar77]

this is the best DK cover ever, according to Jello himself...please save the macho posturing for another band like maybe pennywise or agnostic front...lol.

[@messfromthetonyshockers7416]

ThePunkmar77 I remember the NME (that's New Musical Express, a trendy music newspaper, if you're not from the UK) saying in their review of 'Virus 100' that it was "surprisingly good from the usually lamish Les Thugs." Lamish I thought. This was a couple of months after the release of I.A.B.F. In my opinion, IABF was one of the greatest punk albums of all time. And the NME were calling them lamish. With the tracks Good Friends, Stop the War and Paranoia it was incredibly aggressive riffing with a camp voice (in the same vein as the Buzzcocks).
I absolutely love this song, especially the bass solo that comes in at about 3mins.

[@ThePunkmar77]

Hell yes!

[@a.baldricksson9954]

[@burtrandom]

i agree

[@nayrtnartsipacify]

I heard this version before i ever heard the original and dead kennedys were with me from 8 years old. This version is sweet as fuck

[@MrJellobiaffra]

very good

[@keithbornzin8888]

MrJellobiaffra Concur wholeheartedly with you Fine Sir! Had the pleasure of seeing Les Thugs open for Jane's on Nothings Shocking with Buck Pets too! And them open for RAMONES & even Poison Idea! GREAT BAND... as WAS yers. BEST Comp EVAH! FANX

[@kathyodom5372]

This is from Virus 100. I've often wondered what Jello thinks of this version.

[@spiderjerusalem1019]

Apparently Jello met with Les Thugs when they were in a US tour and instantly clicked with them, thats when they agreed to make this cover for a DK cover compilation.

[@MartinBlack]

Better than the DKs version, in my humble opinion.

[@arnjr73]

Martin Black thx bud, I needed a good laugh today

[@DerSisko]

By far

[@MetalHearts100]

You like laughing? I have another joke for you: The DKs version of this song.

[@ruf1980]

Probably it's because it sounds more modern and melodic and, maybe, you're not that into the 80's hc/punkrock scene. But basically it's the same song, the same rhythm, same chords, etc.

[@tostare]

I love the original but I think I love this more. I just went back and listened to it and the vocals are way too loud for a start. In this version the vocals are just a part of the mix. This is better for dancing to.

[@vinyf4776]

Mielleur groupe rock dectous les temps

[@grimstuson9573]

Great cover! I believe I left this record down in my moms basement somewhere. It was from a AT DK cover compilation from early 90´s I think!?

[@vomit1lounge]

you got it. I got the record in 1992 so I assume 92.

[@WarPede]

It was to celebrate the 100th alternative tentacles release and I think dead Kennedy was the first to be release from alternative tentacles? I also got it on vinyl back then. I love it ^^

[@hankgege2199]

Yup the album is called Virus 100

[@inairati]

la ostiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa¡¡¡¡¡¡,bestial¡¡

[@ferminmugaguren4580]

Arrazoia daukazu: la ostiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[@francoisel.6563]

Trop trop trop bien!!!

[@dominiekverbrugghe1336]

Dit doet me ‘zo goed’ voelen!!!!!

[@GauntLife]

I kinda dig it.

[@HunterSTommygun]

It’s funny because I live in Marin.

[@wangchino3867]

Well, the vocals are not Jello material, but I have to give credit for the amazing music.

[@ColeWheeler4Lyfe]

Yeah.. instead they’re beautiful. ❤

[@imedikimedik6704]

Mais quelle reprise des DK!

[@dennfett]

Anyone point me in the direction of the bass tabs for this version?

[@frankbeyens8316]

Great song and this version might be better than the original. Bien fait!

[@danielscissorhands]

Definitely not better than the original, but still great

[@ignasimontielfuentes7834]

H bomb

[@Slazfreska]

Big D Kennedys fan here and i struggle to admit it but its way way superior ..... that dont take away DK 's greatness though ^_^

[@zoranoran]

Slazfreska I love dk but completely agree with you!

[@Topshelf87]

Weezer does DK?

[@frcprc4022]

p05

[@SecretGerms]

yes, it's a great cover, but what most fail to realize with all cover songs is that if it weren't for the original, the cover version wouldn't exist.

[@ruf1980]

It's obvious but still lot of people don't get it

[@amcgrath5918]

it was kind of a joke bitd how they were so good live nobody wanted to have go on stage after them

[@burtrandom]

all I know its as good as........ not bad

[@inairati]

very very very muuuuuuuuch better than the original¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@lovesstationhope]

Much better than original

[@pascalarcade2330]

moi j'aimerais bien avoir l'avis de marine lepen, est elle au courant sur cette base sur la face cachée de la lune ? moi je suis sur mes gardes ...

[@pascalarcade2330]

Je crois bien que ma blague fait un bide, ouais trop relou maintenant que je me relis

[@biruteviskantaite585]

I go back and forth between this and the original. I like both but this one seems kinder whereas the DK are a bit too apathetic for me.
I feel a painful longing listening to the song.
I find doom to be unavoidable, yet the song takes that fact and sort of redeems it. There is destruction yet "there will always be a moon over marin".
There is ugliness, deception and evil around you. Yet good will never truly die. There shall always be a moon over Marin, a monument which weeps over the cruel loss, a deathless watcher which casts beauty upon the ruined world.

[@artefact7777]

sounds like Oasis no?

[@franckloupil]

Ils ont commencé à jouer 10 ans avant oasis

[@GraveyardDave]

No.

[@Brokenkingpins]

This is right at the bottom of my long list of covers. Oh wow, I was just making fun of the term shirt list, but this is horrible. It’s like guys attempting to be the Dum Dum Girls.

[@westonmitchell6430]

music's better than the original, vocals are not.

[@MrJason138]

Completely unnecessary cover.

[@tonywackett326]

It was on a compilation of covers for the 100th release by alternative tentacles. No more unnecessary than any other cover.

[@spiderjerusalem1019]

Apparently Jello met them when they were on a tour in the US, that´s when they agreed to do a cover for the 100th realease of AT, so basically, Jello personally hand-picked them, and in my opinion, Moon Over Marin is the song that most resembles Les Thugs musical style.

[@a.baldricksson9954]

ugly as hell, but they were definitely great in other ways for sure!!

[@yun3010]

This version sucks!!! Dead kennedys played it wayyyyyy better than this. T

[@JohnDoe-le7ml]

they basically made it their own song, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I like this one a hell of a lot more than the original.

[@hankgege2199]

Of course the original is better. But it's a great cover. They did it their own style. If they would of did like DK that would of been lame.

[@spiderjerusalem1019]

Dude, they were personally hand-picked them by Jello himself, and to be honest they succesfully adapted it into their own style... let´s be honest, trying to replicate Jello´s voice is impossible, he just sings with so much power, thats why current DKs suck so much.

[@g.prince6265]

Alternative tentacles compilation I believe,I got it for neurosis which is after this if I'm sure but damn I fell in love with this song🤘🗿
