North Carolina’s pop-punk parrotheads Pink Flamingos have released the punked up cover of the ultimate beach jam “Cheeseburger in Paradise.”
Originally released by Jimmy Buffet in 1978, the cover is included in the recently released Never Nude Records compilation Cheese Pizza in Paradise where today’s pop-punk bands are trading in their Vans for flip-flops for summer-time covers. Also included are artists such as Mikey Erg, Ramona, Dad Hats and Skapocalypse Meow covering artists such as The Beach Boys, Len and Sugar Ray.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
