Track of the week 24/7/16
Most covers are not as good as the original – although I don’t think that is strictly true. The version you first hear tends to be the version you prefer.
But not in this case. I always liked Erasure, but that was a fairly lukewarm like – not bad, but not brilliant. Always happy to hear their tunes on the radio, but none of their tracks have made it on to my iPod: my indicator of true brilliance!
But I heard Wheatus’ cover of Respect as I was driving back from the tip and I was blown away. Love it.
Enjoy.
