Can't add anything to the question really

Is that the Undertones' 'Get Over You'?

And the Fuzzbox version of 'Walking On Thin Ice'?

I'd have to say the former (for its wolf whistle 3 seconds in), despite appreciating the sheer bravado of the latter.

...but if it's Undertones vs. Yoko, dead tie. They're both great (though Yoko's number is hopefully being bought and listened to by every electroclash band [as self-described by said acts] currently out there).

who are the undertones

?!?!?! You are kidding me, right? I mean, you know a HELL of a lot of music, Dave, I would have sworn you'd at least know them!

Without being too flippant, the Undertones were known (early on) as the Irish Ramones - with all the necessary cultural differences thrown in, including the fact Feagal and the boys were 10 years the Ramones' juniors, and bearing in mind this is the Tommy Erdeyli-era Ramones we're discussing...

As Ned is almost certainly aware, I'd call Yoko Vs Undertones a dead heat, too.

I'm perplexed. I kinda guessed that you probably weren't referring to the Undertones in the original question, so what song do you mean? I did a search and could only come up with the temptingly-titled Legless In Gaza (I may be remembering wrong here) version of the same Undertones song as an alternative...

Damn. My age shows me up again...

Who's Walking On Thin Ice by then? I know Annie Lennox did Walking On Broken Glass, which I'd probably choose over Get Over You (it's not good to get put off by someone's dancing, but by god S-E-B is just so abysmal...)

Yoko Ono did "Walking on Thin Ice," which yes rather knocks Ms. Lennox's song into the abyss and then some.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 4 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah. I'll go for that one then (that dance where Sophie looks like she's trying to adjust the height of a photo booth chair while still sitting on it... jesus fucking christ, just stand still, yeah?)

― Mr Swygart, Sunday, 4 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

So it's not my age, but someone else's lack of taste then? I rather suspected as much.
