It may be silly, but it's still music, gnu!

Those 1980s hairstyles were pretty impressive in the original, but the bluegrass guys had a lot of fun with the music and made the tune itself a bit more interesting. I wondered if they would ham it up, silly as the song is, but they played it straight.

The Cleverlys do a fine arrangement of this song. Better than the original, in my opinion.

Great. I don't have any Bangles recordings, but I always liked hearing them on the radio. The Cleverlys do a great version.

Gnuster, you have got to be the Number One Fun Guy around this occasionally grey place. First Pharrell now The Bangles. I did like their Going Down To Liverpool which I bought by Katrina and the Waves. Not sure if the girls had any idea what they were singing about, but, neh mind eh.
I've not seen The Cleverleys before but they're definitely a tonic on a wet day in Dunfermline.
