CUD was a good cover.

This cover is definitely better than Fun Boy Three's. Theirs seemed a bit too bitter.

Oh dear, I seem to be stuck in the 80s, even though I didn't like the decade.


Edit: Oh no, I've just discovered the lead singer is Belinda Carlisle

I didn't realise it was that old! I thought Marc Almond's version from the 80's was the original!

I prefer Manson's version though - much more dark and angry.

So did I until fairly recently...

I always thought Four Tet's version of "Iron Man" had something to it;

I'd never heard of Four Tet before. Is all their stuff as good? I logged onto Amazon to download it and couldn't find it, but was surprised to find it was a Black Sabbath song.

Sonny Curtis of The Crickets wrote this, The Clash bodged a go but The Bobby Fuller Four version of 'I Faught the Law 'is the one...
