it's kind of upsetting
seeing 'Don Engle' just made me think that I'd been doing some weird morphemic surgery for years wrt who I thought 'Boys of Summer' was by.

We actually cut it in one key, did the whole record with overdubs and everything, and then he decided to change the key like a half step up or something, we had to do the whole record again, but it turned out pretty good."
i can now actually see how this was rly important. his register is perfect.

yes!! it's depressing to hear songs get the life sucked out of them when they're performed a half-step lower

whenever those pitched up songs appear on youtube that aren't the correct version i get really upset

hearing this while parked at a CVS the other day is the first time I got sad listening to this song :(
I do love that the Ataris' cover of this has faded into the background. whereas you still hear like, Alien Ant Farm's "Smooth Criminal" on occasion from that era.
also Henley says he did actually see a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac but he may have been making it up.

one of the things I love about the DJ Sammy version is that it sounds exactly like every trance-pop song from that era and whenever I hear it I'm back at school, taking my Standard Grade exams and drinking in the park, the nostalgia is even more pronounced. Making it sound like the most generic period piece really works with the song itself.
