Probably The Slickee Boys out of Washington DC area.....think that was on one of the Midnight Christmess LP's (on Midnight Records outta NYC) that came out in the late 80's/early 90's. Might also have been on one of their LP's.

oooppppss....I was mistaken...Slickee Boys actually play Hazy Shades Of Winter on that Midnight Christmess LP....sorry, got my Paul Simon songs mixed up...

[Lenny Helsing]

Not sure if they did or not, but The Chesterfield Kings could've done live...they certainly did a great snots-ville version of The Mamas and the Papas' evergreen 'California Dreamin'. Hey Tex, if you do find who it was you were thinkin' of, please let me know...cheers - Lenny

The Dickies did quite a lively version of it. I had a live version of it on a compilation album, but believe they did it on vinyl as well. I was about 20 so shoulda been around 89-90. That might be the one your lookin for???

[Lenny Helsing]

On a related note, the Lemonheads do a cool version of Mrs. Robinson

[Rockin Rod Strychnine]
