"These are the songs of the 50's and 60's as The Nylons re-imagine them. Culled from their albums up to "Rockapella," this is what they do best. It also includes their lone "hit," an energetic cover of Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye." The lack of any substantial follow-up chart singles is certainly no fault of The Nylons, as this collection proves. Their versions of "Happy Together," "This Boy" and "Poison Ivy" could have easily transcended novelty status to make a splash on the radio.
It doesn't mean you should allow this secret pleasure to avoid your CD collection. If a primo blend of voices with a very spare instrumentation (usually little more than drum machines) tickles your fancy, then the collection is truly a "Perfect Fit.""
Great CD !

"My sister sent me this CD and told me to call her after I played it. Grudgingly, I played it...couldn't believe my ears! It was great. I called her and she said, "I knew you'd love it." We hold a very large high school basketball tournament and I always leave this CD along with the Jock Rock CD's for the announcers to play between games. They love it. You'll sing along with every single song."
