I have some friends in a cover band that I've been begging to let me do their demo. I think they do at least one Blondie song, although I'm not sure what song it is. This may be the perfect excuse to finally get them to commit to recording. I can't promise it will happen, but if it does I promise it will be good.

I just have to post this.
They were probably the ugliest band ever. (except Debbie, who was probably the most gorgeous singer ever) Frank Infante, who does the duet vocals with Debbie, looks like a weird, pockmarked alien freak. This song fucking rules. Look at Clem Burke (the drummer) go! He's channeling Keith Moon here, I think.

I'm sure that if you get Caravan Ray a pizza, 6 pack of beer and a pile of dirty magazines, he'll sticky it for you.Märk wrote:I wonder if we could get this Sticky'd?

Oddly enough, Blondie's version of this song is actually a cover of a 1967 song by The ParagonsBilly's Little Trip wrote:I started on "The Tide Is High" today. I really want to do it in an upbeat and punky style. The only covers I've found on youtube have been pop crap, like the atomic kittens, etc. I think I got a grasp on keeping the original feel and keeping it edgy. We shall see.
They did a lot of covers, most of which are surprising to discover that they didn't write the original song; Hanging on the Telephone, written by the Nerves, and Denis, originally by Randy and the Rainbows (?!) are two that come to mind.

Damn, thanks Mark, that is really cool to know. I just searched them on youtube and found their version here >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u7znJ2rRjc
Now knowing that the original version says, "I'm not the kind of guy", where Blondie says girl, really gave me a great idea.
