so, i'm putzing around on the web and looking for info on danny hutton hitters, the group that did "wouldn't it be good" for the pretty in pink soundtrack - damn that's a good song!! well, guess what? it's not even their song - it's a remake! it's actually a song by nik kershaw - so then it's off to kazaa to hear the original, as well as a few other remakes by kershaw himself...actually, i think i like the danny hutton hitters version better...it's a bit perkier, i think, and provides a good contrast to the depressing lyrics

so now i'm thinking my next mix cd will be "as good as, if not better" - songs that are remakes that are good in their own right! it might be hard to come up with a whole disc of songs of this type, then again, it might not be...*ponder*
