I'm ashamed to admit that, until just now, I thought the original version was done by Soft Cell.

But man I really loved how he did the solo with the horn section, thats pretty cool.
Aha, I love how he'd psych everyone out at live shows by picking up his guitar right before the solo, then turning around and letting the horns play it.

I fixed them for you.

You don't need to put the whole address in youtube tags , only the video code.

Me too actually, Liam's drunken drawl adds something to it.

Original.



Cover




I think DLR stayed true to the original. The only real change is bringing the song up to 80's rock spec. Depending on my mood, I like both.

Original



Cover




It wasn't the best song in the first place, but at least the original was original and fun. Krokus put a glam spin on it and made is one of the worst songs ever.

The Damned's version of this is awesome

And the man in the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you
She's got great big tits
Great big tits
Great big tits

I can't find that one on youtube. I found part of it, and I'm guessing its more of a punk version?
