blandy Posted May 11, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2021 I heard “sorry for laughing” on the radio last week and thought “that’s a cover of a propaganda song”. But it was the original apparently. So this is the cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nouvelle Vague did a cover too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah maybe - Soon as it came on, I thought “I know this”…but my brain worked out that I knew it from Propaganda’s “A Secret Wish” (which, to be fair, I played to death in the mid 80s) rather than doing any further thinking about whether it might recognise it from anywhere else. Lazy gravy-addled brain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it either. I don't think Baker Street is an awful song, I think it's rather a masterpiece in its original incarnation. And I like Waylon. But it's just a wrong combination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be pedantic, but that suggests that you DID like it initially, but went off it through overexposure. Loads of 70s 'classic rock' falls into that category for me - All Right Now, Layla, Sultans of Swing, Freebird, etc., etc. It's not that I don't like them (I do), I just don't ever need to hear them again for the millionth time.

I must choose my words better. I never liked it or in fact disliked it and then through over play I ended up disliking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Not quite a cover version but I had never heard/heard of Rose Garden by Lyn Anderson so had zero idea about this connection till 5 minutes ago. EDIT. Not sure why that bloke is going into the phone box with his dick hanging out. Looks well dodgy. Edited June 9, 2021 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
