Specialists in this sub-genre of cover version are supergroup Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, led by Fat Mike of pop-punk legends NOFX. Check out the star-studded video for their catchier-than-nits version of R Kelly’s I Believe I Can Fly, featuring cameos from Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba and Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley, among others.
