What a lovely surprise. Uncle John covering the Eels is the last thing I would have expected to see, but you really nail it. Now, how about you tackle my favourite Eels ditty, 'It' s a Motherf**Ker'?

Thanks, Clock. Andries and Wes. I looked up the Eels last night and sample more of them. Good stuff. I thought they were a U.K. group, but they are U.S.
