This week, as humanity settled down to enjoy the traditional Sunday roast, Toyah Willcox and King Crimson man Robert Fripp launched into a frenzied performance of the Dead Kennedys’ 1981 single To Drunk To Fuck – Continue reading…

Brooklyn Vegan: Watch Toyah and Robert Fripp cover Dead Kennedys’ “Too Drunk To Fuck”: Well we weren’t expecting this one. Toyah and King Crimson’s Robert Fripp have been on a punk kick of late on their Sunday Lunch cover series but who’d’ve thought they’d head to San Francisco and take on Dead Kennedys’ classic “Too Drunk to Fuck”? Mind you, they’ve neutered it slightly — Toyah’s outfits get them in trouble with YouTube already — so the video is actually titled “Too Drunk to FUNK” and that’s what she’s singing, too, if you listen close enough. (This week’s kitchen cupboard sign: “TOO DRUNK TO FRIPP.”) But otherwise it’s a typically gonzo video from these two — Other recent covers: Billy Idol’s’ “White Wedding” and Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop.” – Continue reading…

Brooklyn Vegan: Watch Toyah & Robert Fripp cover The Stooges’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog”: After a few months of weird karaoke while King Crimson were on tour, and then very silly holiday sing-a-longs, Toyah and Robert Fripp are finally back to covering songs in their kitchen.
