LINK WARS!!

It is my duty as an american citizen of pt to mt this thread.

Some of my personal favorites are all the Motown covers they do. Jerry/merle + Motown = all you ever need.

Keepers with Merl was my fav song ever.

Any link available?

This show has a killer version.

Here's the MP3. If you want, I can up you the flacs...
