This has been languishing in my YouTube Watch Later list for at least seven years, if not more. It's not going to do either of us any good, is it, just sitting there, so I'd better post it and we can all move on. Here's Mariachi Mexteca (now known as The Mariachis) featuring Hugh Cornwell in their cover of my favourite Stranglers song.
I was going to say that it's a testament to a good song that it can stand up to any kind of interpretation... but that doesn't sound much different to the original, to be honest.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's wise not to mess too much with the classics...
DeleteIt was better than I was anticipating. But then again, I've always like Hugh's voice. Can imagine some buskers trying it out......
ReplyDeleteI may have busked it around the living room ... when the rest of the Amusements clan are out, of course.
DeleteI'm sold.
ReplyDelete(And now I'm wondering if I could learn to play it on the concertina...)
I can imagine that!
DeleteThis is great fun!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just?
