"Draggin' the Line" by The Sugar Beats

 

The Sugar Beats are a Los Angeles, California band that specializes in rearranging pop songs from the '50s, '60s, and '70s for a younger audience.

This is their version of Tommy James' 1971 solo work "Draggin' the Line," which is widely maintained to be about the kid friendly activity of using cocaine. Replace the word draggin' with snortin', and voila!

For another Tommy James cover, As December Falls' version of "I Think We're Alone Now" can be found here.

"I Think We're Alone Now" by As December Falls

 

I was trying hard to enjoy the video of Nottingham, UK indie rockers As December Falls covering the 1967 bubblegum pop hit "I Think We're Alone Now," originally released by Tommy James, and revived for Tiffany's late 80's whirlwind tour of shopping malls.

But I kept getting distracted by whatever is on their singer's forehead.

What the hell is that?  It looks sort of like the symbol for Adidas.  But, nobody likes sneakers THAT much, do they?  To have the logo stamped into their cranium like Little Uzi Vert's diamond?  

I mean... I do have the Skechers logo tattooed inside of my upper lip, but... the forehead?  That's some extreme brand loyalty.
