卡拉OK是亚洲人的发明,在欧美很少有人喜欢这种娱乐形势。但偏偏有这么一只PUNK乐队是例外,他们可以说是近乎疯狂的卡拉OK迷,他们从不创作一首歌,但却深受歌迷拥戴,这就是“Me First And The Gimme Gimmes”。从“甲壳虫”到各国民歌,从“阿根挺别为我流泪”到“我的太阳”,都是他们翻唱的对象,大有将翻唱进行到底之势。而作为一支PUNK乐队5人的组合又有些不和常理(通常3人居多)
乐队成员:
主唱:Spike
吉他:Joey
贝司:Fat Mike 此人值得一提,因为他即是乐队成员,又是乐队所在独立唱片公司“fatwreck”(网址:http://www.fatwreck.com/)的老板。
吉他:Jake Jackson
鼓:Dave

这里是他们网页中的英文简介:(为了保持原意我没有翻译)
John Denver, Andrew Lloyd Weber, Billy Joel, and George Gershwin. Cross dressing, all night Vicadin fueled rock armadas, karaoke, and Jagermeister. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. These are a few of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes favorite things.
