Formada en 1995, la agrupación ha versionado a artistas de la talla de Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, John Denver o The Beatles.
Los Gimme Gimmes cuentan en su alineación con importantes rostros de la nueva escuela del punk, tales como Fat Mike, bajista de NOFX, Chris Shiflett, guitarra de los Foo Fighters y Joey Cape y Dave Raun de Lagwagon. Ellos, junto al cantante Spike Slawson ($wingin' Utter$), se han encargado de darle un aire mas desfachatado a clásicos temas que han marcado a varias generaciones.

[Verse] (Upstrokes first half, pm second) There's so many times I've let you down, So many times I've fucked around, I tell you now they don't mean a thing, Every place I go I'll think of you, Every song I sing I'll sing for you, When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse] Now the time has come to leave you, One more time let me kiss you, Then close your eyes I'll be on my way, Dream about the days to come, When I won't have to be alone, About the times I won't have to say
