I honestly don’t remember the original of this song, but heard the cover on KEXP this am while driving to work – very cool! The band is Tame Impala, but this cover isn’t on any of their current records, apparently, it’s more recent.

here’s the original (from 1996, which is probably why I never heard it the first time, wasn’t paying any attention) – actually pretty good…even if he’s doing his best Diana Ross look in this video:

I vaguely remember this house being at odds with development in nearby Ballard, but don’t remember the rest, nor that it inspired Up – one of the more somber, yet touching Pixar movies…

Viva Tiny Mailmen! 🙂
