Wednesday, I wrote about singing along with songs sung by girl groups as they played on the radio.
Coincidentally, ham radio sister Trish e-mailed me about a news CD/album released by one of my favorite punk rock groups Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Titled Are We Not Men? We Are Diva!, the Gimme Gimmes cover 12 songs made famous by female singers including such diva standards as "On the Radio" by Donna Summer, "Straight Up" by Paula Abdul, and "The Way We Were" by Barbra Streisand.
If you like Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, you will like their Diva album. And to make things even more interesting, the group's lead singer, Spike Slawson, appears en femme on the cover of the album!

femulated for the group’s new album Are We Not Men? We Are Diva!
I would have mentioned their second album (1999), Me First And The Gimme Gimmes Are A Drag.

Mostly musical theatre and much better than "We Are Divias"
