I’ll be brief.
Today’s lesson: pick a little known song (the original is lifted from a 4-track EP which was the only thing released by the original power-pop band), make it the opening track on your era-defining album, release it as a single, and sit back and watch as no-one realises it’s a cover version.
In other words, totally fucking own it.
Like this:
Blondie – Hanging On The Telephone
And the original:
The Nerves – Hanging On The Telephone
