Nellie did this live on Fresh Air the other night. It was the beginning of the interview and I didn't listen to the rest because Terry Gross drives me up the wall. But Nellie rocks my socks off.

I totally dig this (!!!) Thanks for sharing :)

Terry Gross is freaking awesome! She, Ira Glass, and Michelle Martin are like my NPR heroes.

Listen to the rest of the songs on the show. Nellie has a really great voice, and her songs are freaking hilarious. I personally loved "Manhattan Avenue" and the zombie one she sung at the very end (I couldn't get it out of my head). I really like her live performance versus the CD version.

when i first listened to this cd back when it'd just come out, my jaw dropped. this is the first track, and i was so amped when i heard it i ran around all day playing it for my friends. pretty rad.
i'm still trying to figure out the dennis kucinich dis at the end, though?

I loves Nellie McKay. All of her music is subversive and intelligent, and I'm pretty sure she writes all of the lyrics, music, and plays all of the instruments. I would suggest the following songs to anyone who is interested in further listening. (My personal favorites):
David
Change the World
Ding Dong
Cupcake

Nellie McKay is so great. I don't have this album -- my friend said it wasn't as good as her first two, but I might get it now.
