"Our Lips are Sealed" by Everclear


 In 1998, Portland, Oregon power pop band Everclear redid "Our Lips are Sealed," a Go-Go's gem that was designated one of the top 100 pop songs of all time according to Rolling Stone magazine.

The swirling guitars give it that mid '90s aesthetic.  I dig 'em.

A pretty masterful job by this trio.  In fact, the only way I could think of to improve their version is to get Belinda Carlisle to sing on it.

For a cover of Belinda's solo stuff, check out this one by Elvenking.

For a post tangentially related to the Go-Go's and Belinda Carlisle, American Hi-Fi's cover of Joe Jackson can be found here.
