HUFF THIS! – You Got It (The Right Stuff) (New Kids on the Block cover) Their version of “Don’t Stop Moving” is strumming on a porch languorous and lovely, features some fine harmonizing, and while it may not be an outright hands-in-the-air BANGER, it is really fine and undeniably qualifies as small-b banger. Their 9th studio album, Golddiggas, Headnodders and Pholk Songs features all kinds of nifty covers performed in sweetly oddball fashion, mostly in duet form.
