Why would you do that to perfectly good ecstasy?

Mike Hanley, did you ever cover this?
Also--Redd Kross covered "Savior Machine", Ann Magnuson did "Moonage Daydream", and I saw Momus do a fab version of "Cracked Actor" in LA once. And Beck does "Win" live.

Of course, I also like the nonsense style. 'Blackout' off "Heroes" makes no sense, but is fantastic expressionist poetry.
You're always ruining my fun! *cries*
I was just looking for a thread to proclaim the obvious, i.e. that "Oh You Pretty Things" is a fucking perfect song. So why aren't there a lot of covers of it? Because, like another of my favorite songs, "What a Fool Believes" by the Doobie Brothers, it's relatively challenging to play and sing well.

He was a good songwriter imo. That B.E.F./Billy Mackenzie cover is wild.
