Really? Wow. I thought it pretty good actually. Kind of reminds me of the stuff Steve Winwood was releasing in the 80's. Oh well, to each his own, I guess. Worst Song – Jim Capaldi. Really? Wow.

If you REALLY want to listen to something bizarre, check out Tony Orlando and Dawn's "Runaway"/"Happy Together" medley sometime (starts off as a slow, wannabe-trippy number then veers into the "disco train"... no lie!).

There are far too many industrial bands doing new wave covers, but this one really stands out.

The album that contains it ("The Everlasting Blink") is highly recommended if you care for that kind of stuff. One song features Jon Marsh from The Beloved on vocals, and David Essex on another.

Certainly better than the Carlton version of it above. I've never been a Stray Cats fan, but I just listened to their version of “Sleepwalk” for the first time and it is damn good.
