Club Can't Handle Me is a song written by Flo Rida and covered by Tally Hall. It released on July 15, 2011 via AbsolutePunk.net and a YouTube video was later posted on July 18, 2011.[1] Casey Shea sings a significant portion of the song, including the chorus. The cover includes an alternate breakdown verse in which Rob Cantor raps.
MTV reported on the song in 2011, saying that "The cover blends synthetic beats with live instrumentation to achieve that rare feat for a cover song: retaining the original's memorable elements while supplementing their own unique sonic touches."[2]
Website "Cover Me" also reported on the cover, saying that " Tally Hall’s version captures the party spirit of the song while sticking to the band’s pop rock style."[3] and Becca Gleason of Nerdist.com praised the cover highly, saying that: "This cover of “Club Can’t Handle Me” transformed something I hate into something I love"[4]
In episode 2 of Andrew Horowitz's interview web-series Keep Up The Good Work with guest Casey Shea, they discuss that it was one of the first songs Andrew produced, and that the song was originally made to impress Atlantic Records and that they planned to release a series of cover songs by bands and artists signed to Atlantic Records, as an attempt at cross-promotion. However, the label had little to no interest in the idea.[5]
Trivia
- Casey mentioned that they recorded upward to 400 vocal tracks for the cover[5]
Lyrics
You know I know how To make 'em stop and stare as I zone out The club can't even handle me right now Watchin' you watchin' me I go all out The club can't even handle me right now (ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh) (ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh) (ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-oo-oo) The club can't even handle me right now (ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh) (ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh) (ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-oo-oo..)
