There was a falsetto version of The Supremes’s “Baby Love”, an uplifting cover of Creed’s “Higher”, and even a heart wrenching (some may say ear-splitting) rendition of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”. Yes, they’ve graced the cover of major magazines and have toured the world, but Be Your Own Pet proved that they still know how to get awkward.
