[sillystou]

first! Sweet! Moar Offspring!

[RM-225]

Yes! I love that cover of "Can't Get Enough of You Baby".

[Lowlander2]

Cover of Why Can't We Be Friends? Um, okay. Sure. Fine.

Decent week, but I guess this means this is the last Offspring song we'll ever see?

[azzaman333]

Meh. Might go on my later pile.

[ZigZag2005]

Not interested.

[dinoman]

Still buying, but.... why no "Why Don't You Get A Job"?

[RustySpoons]

Can't believe we didn't get the War version of that song first...
Still, I love Smash Mouth and these are great picks!

[MagicMurderBag7]

Aw this was the chance to get more Monkees. I might pick up those Smash Mouth covers. I'm not really feeling that new Offspring song though.

[VolTRH]

More Offspring is always welcome. I'll probably pick up the Smash Mouth too because nostalgia.
