I've been listening to this record for over 20 years and just realized that the opening notes of the first number "The Dairy Queen" by #ClemSnide is a *car alarm*. So New York. https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-dairy-queen/1647139107?i=1647139108
“Beautiful” (Cover by Clem Snide in 2003; originally by Christine Aguilera in 2002 )
Clem Snide is most commonly billed as an “alt-country” band named for a fictional William S. Burroughs character. Despite their “alt cred,” the band has never shied away from sentimentalism or popular songs - but according to lead singer Eef Barzelay, they only do tunes they genuinely like (even when that results in an entire album of Journey covers).
They didn’t wait long before grabbing Aguilera’s empowerment anthem “Beautiful,” nor were they alone. The tune (written by Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes) has been covered something like a billion times, and it's almost always still pretty good. Few capture the honesty of this early version, however - maybe because the lads seem to genuinely mean it.
