I can't believe this video is twenty years old! It's a fab punky cover of the old High Society number (Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra in the film) Well Did You Evah? by Debbie Harry and Iggy Pop. It's tremendous fun and I love Debbie Harry who was so very very very very very very cool in the 80s (this came out in 1990).
I think this song is relatively little known? I think? It was on an album called Red Hot and Blue - a triple album of Cole Porter covers. There were a few really good songs on it - a Kirsty MacColl version of Miss Otis Regrets lingers in my memory too. Madam.

I loved "Red Hot and Blue." David Byrne's "Don't Fence Me In" is the number I remember best. You should check out Sinnead O'Connor's album "Am I Not Your Girl." -- willaful
I loved Red Hot and Blue too! And both the Kirsty MacColl (loved her last album--her death was really sad) and David Byrne songs definitely linger. I've got to dig out the CD and put it on my iPod.
I know, so tragic and needless. I want to go to London some day and see her bench in Soho Square. --willaful
