Even the J Geils Band did a cover of Where Did Our Love Go.

I got in to a discussion with some folks at a BBQ, who were not enamoured by sampling and/or cover versions (like One Direction's One Way or Another.

Oh, they're just paying respect to songs they like.

But why are the always covering great 80s songs?!?! they complained. They go and spoil it.

I said: It's not like the 80s when we had all those originals like the Van Halen's You Really Got Me, Pet Shop Boys Always on My Mind, Motley Crue's Smoking In The Boys Room, Soft Cell's Tainted Love or Naked Eye's Always Something To Remind Me and Poison's Your Mama Don't Dance.

And they were all...yeah, how good was the 80s!?!? Such great stuff...etc etc.

A shame there isn't a decent recording of this performance around but Frida from ABBA really does a great version of Fire and Ice.
