But...  they're a novelty act, aren't they?  ;)

Police De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Stevie Wonder Master Blaster (Jammin')
Jags Back Of My Hand (I've Got Your Number)
Joe Walsh All Night Long
Bob Marley Coming in From the Cold
Queen Another One Bites the Dust
Siouxsie & The Banshees Christine
Elvis Costello King Horse
Genesis Turn It On Again
Devo Freedom Of Choice

very impressive -- sorry I missed the Jags' Costello cloning.

For the most part, yes.  I *despise* what they did with "Satisfaction" and "Working in a Coal Mine," and they let their outfits overtake their lyrics.  But the lyrics are why I love "Freedom of Choice" so much.

"KISS for Kollege Kids" was an apt appellation.
