[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

AWESOME.



Love this!

 

[National_Front_Disco]

Lacks the punchy vocals and instrumentation of Moz’s original. Not a bad effort though.

 

[Mozzer1980]

Great video , very good cover Dana !

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Lacks the punchy vocals and instrumentation of Moz’s original. Not a bad effort though.

of course the production isn’t as high of a quality as Morrissey’$. But I actually feel it being more lively, especially with the use of harpsichord, and more dynamic with the contrast of the rocking chorus and outro. Though, I can understand it not being for everyone.

 

[Billy A]

I really enjoy this, such a great groove. Good to see Morrissey be covered in such a loving and enjoyable way. Well done, and good luck, to Gillespie and team.

Warmth and positivity on Moz Solo? How refreshing!

 

[JoeSellMozza]

Cruelty without beauty!

 

[Les Tameside]

It’s very good: I get a strong Stranglers influence being teased out, which I hadn’t recognised in the original.

 

[Johnny Tapia]

Absolute bilge.

 

[Light Housework]

I like the end of the video where she’s actually lying in bed, and I enjoyed the whole video.

 

[j*e*t]

Here's an interview where Dana chats with Tris Penna, co-producer of the track. Interestingly, she refers (about 15:00) to the co-producer of her 1974 album (Ain't Gonna Play No Second Fiddle) John Porter who, of course, later became The Smiths' producer.

 

[Was I ever any good]

4CKING AWESOME

 

[Gaylord Deepstar]

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

 

[The Seeker of Good Songs]

I would make one change to the video: the last still image, should have been Morrissey laying in the bed with Dana and each of them with a lit cigarette, or vape pipe, with a exuberant cloud of exhale.

 

[The.Boy.Racer]

It's fantastic, great cover & video!
Well done to everyone involved!

 

[Was I ever any good]

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Are you sure it wasn’t something else

 

[klaus]

seems like she is spending the day on a couch though, which is fine by me

 

[The Alchemist]

I actually really like that. Great voice, and I love the intonation throughout. She smashed it.

 

[ACTON]

I like the cover version, especially the music when it kind of goes wild. But....that (leather?) couch sure isn't a bed, ehhh unless it's a pull out bed. Obviously I much prefer Moz's version but as cover versions go this is one of the better ones I think.

A pathetically pedantic p.s. from pitiful me.... if you're telling people to stop watching the news then don't have 20 news shows playing in the video.
