About This Track

Cake covered “I Will Survive” in 1996 on the album Fashion Nugget. This is Gloria Gaynor’s least favorite version of the song, due to its use of profanity: lead singer John McCrea altered the line “I should have changed that stupid lock” to “I should have changed my fucking lock.”

The music video for Cake’s version features John McCrea as a parking control officer who is writing tickets in San Francisco, often at the expense of normally happy people (such as a newly wed couple). This is combined with footage of Todd Roper playing in the streets, Victor Damiani playing on top of a car, and Greg Brown playing in a crowded courtyard.

i have to say i like this so much better than the original. the original is great, but this is such a, like, man version. it always makes you think of your ex, who did you wrong and then tried to get you back. they're not welcome anymore

censorship is retarded. [2] I swear I've heard an uncensored version on Pandora, but this version off Spotify's been cut. Bah. Still an excellent cover.
