    This is a classic example of how the music has become bland and dull. Compare the original for yourself, for energy and an authentic sound.

    Neneh’s version is …
    Neneh’s version is fantastic and she has the punk credentials. Neneh was a big part of the early 80s London punk scene and was in several punk bands including a band called the Cherries. She also did a short stint in the Slits. After a couple of years, Neneh gravitated to the hip-hop scene and was in a punk/hip hop fusion band called Rip Rig + Panic in 1981. She sung with RR + P until 1986. She’s currently recording with Tricky of Massive Attack.

    Saw X-Ray Spex live …
    Saw X-Ray Spex live once (Victoria Park RAR gig in ’78 or ’79? a long time ago). This cover is different enough & well worth a listen. I think that Poly S. has the better voice though – maybe misses a note or two, but this is punk, remember, and it comes from the heart.

    It wasn’t her best try to be honest, she had better performances of “Germ Free Adolescents” (check her Karlsruhe gig, it’s on my channel, way better)

    This is the first time I have seen Nenah’s version. I haven’t heard this song since \\\\\\poly Styrene sang it in the ’70s. I LOVE NENAH’S VERSION. You really rock girl xxxx

    I like what they did with the instumental but Neneh has the wrong type of voice for this song.
