Now there is a forgotten song. I heard this way before the Godley and Crème original and so didn’t realise it was a cover.

I was the same! I prefer the cover too.

Yeah me too. There are a number of songs where I prefer the cover. Maybe that’s an idea for a new thread :).

Always Something There To Remind Me / Naked Eyes

On Triple M’s “Nights With Dave Gleeson”, The ‘Classic 9 at 9’ was ‘forgotten covers’.

A couple of really good covers that were released as singles here that I’d forgotten about were played

Viva Las Vegas - ZZ Top (Elvis Presley original) - the cover was released here in 1992 and got to #28 in the AUS charts. Really good choice for a cover as it really suits their music style.

The Real Thing - Midnight Oil (Russell Morris original) - the Oils cover was released in 2000 but only made it to #48 on the AUS charts.

You also reminded me of this D-Generation Late Show dig at Waley, Lyneham and Harvey:

I remember watching the video clip on Rage and being scared of ZZ Top’s beards (I was only six at the time). I play it on the Conga Line every now and then.

The Oils cover of ‘The Real Thing’ doesn’t do it for me though.

One thing I think that Gleeson should have played is the Nick Barker and The Reptiles cover of “Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile)”.

That is a favorite of mine. Killer track.
