Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox take on blink-182’s “Dammit” in the latest installment of their “Sunday Lunch” series, as the married couple deliver an “elderly edition” of the coming-of-age punk anthem.
The 77-year-old King Crimson guitarist and the 65-year-old new wave singer have proven to be ever-youthful since launching their “Sunday Lunch” YouTube series in 2020, serving up playful covers of popular rock songs. And their performance of “Dammit” is filled with energy, as Toyah jumps up and down while singing blink-182’s first hit single.
It’s only at the end that Toyah calls it an “elderly edition” of “Sunday Lunch,” causing Robert to break out in laughter.
Over the past year, Toyah and Robert have offered up covers of Beastie Boys’ “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party),” KISS’ “Lick It Up,” Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love,” Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation,” and J. Geils Band’s “Centerfold,” among other tunes.
Meanwhile, fans can catch blink-182 on their upcoming summer North American tour in support of their new album, ONE MORE TIME…, which arrived this past October. The punk trio will kick off the outing June 20th in Orlanda, Florida, with tickets available here.
