All cover versions tonight , some of which, I suspect, filled a songwriting gap in a hurried LP. Most, though, are as good if not better than the original. The Ramones could play any song they liked and it would still sound like a Ramones song. The Damned appear tonight courtesy of their biggest hit. (I know, I'd forgotten that too.)Ìý How come something like 'Eloise' gets to number three , while 'Neat Neat Neat' didn't even get into the top 75?
Other cover versions are an attempt at getting a badge marked 'cool'. I suspect Orange Juice did that with their Al Green song. What other explanation is there for something which isn't as good as 'Simply Thrilled Honey'?ÌýÌý I'll stop now, before I talk down the rest of the show. The Shop Assistants record's great , by the way.
