Jeez, I never heard that version before, very cool. Kudos to her for her song selection on "Strange Little Girls", too!

I got 100cc as a kid. I had no idea who they were. At first, I thought they were too soft, but they really grew on me.

Is that Steve Lukather on guitar?

Okay, I can live with the studio version of “Dreadlock Holiday” even though it is no “Safe European Home,” but that live version really highlights its awfulness.

Vintage TV used to show the Graham Gouldman version of 10cc doing DH live in a small Swansea venue, everyone seated and still, the band similarly motionless and inert. Then in the coda Graham changes it briefly it to "I don't like Swansea, I love it" to, say, two or three very muted squeals in the audience. Bless.

Graham stretching the bounds of credibility there.

Why would the guy who wrote For Your Love, No Milk Today and Look Through Any Window choose Dreadlock Holiday as his showcase number?

I guess it's the only 10cc hit he sang.
