"Head Over Heels" by The Lascivious Biddies

 

New York City pop band The Lascivious Biddies jazz up "Head Over Heels," the 1984 new wave single from Los Angeles, California quintet Go-Go's.

Here's hoping that they remembered to disconnect the overhead lights from their Smart Clapper before recording this one, or the strobe effect would have been something else.  

For another Go-Go's cover, Everclear's version of "Our Lips are Sealed" can be found here.

"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.
