i think it's a terrible cover, rather lifeless (apart from Stefani's usual pre-Britney 'mmmmrrwwwwuuurrr's punctuating every other line) lacklustre and pointless effort from a band who oughta know better. the original dwarfs all!

Which "It's My Life" is this?

If you are speaking of the Dr. Alban song, making a better cover version probably doesn't take a lot of effort. If you are speaking of the Talk Talk classic, then, NEVER!

...or the Animals.

make sure you've heard both mixes...the alternative mix has lotsa guitars and the pop mix is all smoothed out.

...or the Animals.

or bon jovi.

Those Animals or Bon Jovi ones aren't any good anyway. Talk Talk's is the one and only classic with that title. :)

That doesn't work though. "Meat" backwards is "taem."

Chris Ott so wants to fuck me.

i saw the video for it today, and it made me very angry.

oh come on alex...with those childproof caps? surely they must induce a bit of spittle flecked fire-honoring, no?

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 14 November 2003 01:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Seriously. I just found it reprehensible. Is nothing sacred?I can only hope that Hollis and Co. saw some beefy greenery as a result.

Hahaha don't TAINT my music with your goddamn royalties! It's SACRED!

That's it......time for you to be whalloped like the flea-bitten orangutan you are, Alex you name-shamer! PREPARE FOR PUGILISM!

Oooooh HE AIN'T PRETTY NO MORE.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 14 November 2003 01:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Hm I haven't heard the original, but think this version is great and downloaded it right away. Also, Gwen looks very much like Madonna circa "Express Yourself" in the video, and Tony looks really cute with his hair like that. I think I would feel the same way if I was 13

You've never heard the original???? How old are you, Vic?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 14 November 2003 02:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Watch OUT Vic! ALEX will send kick-boxing MONKEYS after you!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 14 November 2003 02:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't like the production on this much. It's good, though. I seriously think the Liquid People remix is the definitive version of the song.

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Friday, 14 November 2003 02:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm kind of horrified by this cover because they somehow have made it sound a lot like the song 'Angel in my Pocket' by the late 80s Canpop group, One 2 One. Cognitive dissonance is the end result.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 14 November 2003 03:48 (twenty-one years ago)

[i'm old enough to have heard it but was trapped in another musical world in the 80s, far away from pop radio]

― Vic (Vic), Friday, 14 November 2003 03:53 (twenty-one years ago)

which one of you is the monkey?

― Dave M. (rotten03), Friday, 14 November 2003 03:55 (twenty-one years ago)

WE BOTH ARE! IT'S A MONKEY KICKBOXING FITE! (It's like a monkey knife fite with less torn ears.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 14 November 2003 04:06 (twenty-one years ago)

oh. i thought it was a monkey and a very short man. er, continue.

Roddy McDowell's looking CLASSSSSY.

I know, that ascot is simply the shit!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 14 November 2003 04:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Truly an underused fashion accessory.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 14 November 2003 04:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah it's better but I still wasn't THAT moved. The video is funny though (and, as fascinated as I am by Mark Hollis's mug, better than the original). I'm sad to hear Gwen's going solo. Like Debbie Harry, she's even cooler when surrounded my amiable dudes.
