chrissie Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 [ive played this 3 times tonight and im starting to like it!], link No your not!! it's the sublliminal messages again trying to take you to the other side
TheBigO Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 There are loads of covers - Yazz 'The Only Way Is Up'; Kylie 'Time Will Pass You By' (I think it was this one); 4 Vandals 'Wrong Side Of Town' - oh, hang on, that's real isn't it
Guest rachel Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 I picked up Elvis Costello's version of 'Getting Mighty Crowded' out of curiosity. It's alright, sounds like Elvis Costello basically!
Guest in town Mikey Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 I think my first post was about, Summertime Special in the late 70s. I was a 14 year old, just begining to learn about Northern Soul. We had some aunties and uncles visiting, and the TV was on. On come the Rolly Pollys, and proceed to launch into a 'wacky' version of the Sherries - Put your lovin' arms around me. My mother's ears prick up, and she says to me: "Isn't this one of your Northern Soul records? Go on, show your aunty how you dance" Marilyn Manson's version of Tainted Love is pretty off the wall, but strangely compelling.

The Sherrys version was a cover of a pop hit? Could be wrong. Incidentally - what a great sax solo!

I'm trying to recover one Sunday evening, during which I've had to do the obligatory trip to Granny's house.
