Jenn Ghetto Covers Ke$ha

In addition to fronting Seattle’s finest Blink 182 cover band, Jenn Ghetto has recorded a rendition of Ke$ha’s “Tik-Tok.” Yes, you read that correctly. No, no one slipped anything in to your morning coffee.
Best known as the whispery ache in Carissa’s Wierd and sad bastard solo artist “S”, it would seem Ghetto is also an unabashed lover of pop and probably an awesome karaoke buddy. At its best, Ghetto’s version of “Tik Tok” sounds like an “S” tune. When she quivers “you build me up, you break me down” it really does sound like one of her own tunes, but then she’s right back into that which is unmistakably Ke$ha, rapping softly “don’t stop make it pop, DJ blow my speakers up … ”

You can own Jenn Ghetto’s Ke$ha cover as it was just released as part of a small-press 7” split with exes, who covers a T.I. tune.
And this Thursday you can see Jenn sing her own songs. She’s opening for Betsy Olson on Thursday at Columbia City Theater. And maybe, she’ll play Tik-Tok or a Blink 182 cover amidst those sad songs we love so much.
