Also: I listened just long enough to hear K-Han quote Eleanor Roosevelt: "It's not enough to just talk about peace, you have to believe in it. And it's not enought to just believe in peace, you have to do something about it. And that's what we're doing: doing something about it!" What? By putting out a shitty, facile song?

Still, bad call. Very bad call. I can think of a lot of records that got fucked over commercially by releasing a weak first single, and I predict that this will cripple the record's sales.
Le Tigre probably felt that it was important to get this song out there before the RNC. I can't think of any other rational motivation.

As for creative reinterpretation, they said they covered it because it conveyed their general feeling playing a concert to their fans.

Hmmm.
Tonight I could be with you Or waiting in the Wings Lift your heart with soaring song Cut down the puppet strings Cut down the puppet strings
I wear a coat of drums And dance upon your eyes Turn the tables upside down Change the lows to highs Change the lows to highs
I fill you up with butterflies Crown the heads of kings Be glad of first night nerves For fear gives courage wings Fear gives courage wings
If I am on the sidelines Chances are you'll miss Wait alone and spotlit For Doctor Theatre's kiss
The stage becomes a ship in flames I tie you to the mast Throw your body overboard The spotlight doesn't last The spotlight doesn't last
I could be with you Or waiting in the wings Lift your heart with soaring song Cut down the puppet strings Cut down the puppet strings
I may tap you on the shoulder And whisper "go" in red Strip your feet of lead my friend Strip your feet of lead
Call the curtain Raise the roof Spirits on tonight
We love our audience

i'm not a big kathleen hanna fan though. i was always more of a huggy bear fan. she was cute in that sonic youth video though. but even that: i mean she's no lung leg. but then sonic youth weren't the same sonic youth by then, so it makes sense that they would choose a 2nd gen toothless version of fierce female to hang their senior bus passes on. riot girl was too cutesy for me. i like freaks and geeks too much. most of those dilletantes weren't passionate enough to shine dawn crosby's boots. never heard of dawn crosby? yeah, i didn't think so. she wasn't pouty enough. (that cassavettes song was silly though! i'll bet sofia coppola liked that one.)
