   I've seen them probably 3 or 4 times..  I'll admit that I haven't paid to   
   see them once..  All the times I saw them were in NYC and I think all but   
   one, I was on the bill..   
      
   Pig Pen used to do a cover of Lazy Bone..  and I'll be honest and say that   
   the first time I ever heard Shonen Knife's studio version of the same song,   
   all I could think was.. "how can we play their song that much better than   
   them?"   
      
   Iother than that, I really can't name any SN songs...   well..  I'm lying..   
   but my point of reference is a live video..  and when I try to remember   
   shonen knife songs, lines like "I like public bath" and "Beer and Bison   
   never say die" get stuck in my head   
      
   back in the early 90's when they were touring the states a bunch and   
   couldn't speak Engrish yet..  they were adorable as fuck to watch....
