No Doubt covers Talk Talk!!!!

My current fave pop/rock group--No Doubt :D has covered the classic "It's My Life" originally done by Talk Talk in 1984. I just heard it on the radio---AND it sounded GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

Talk Talk's 12", remixed by Steve Thompson & Michael Barbiero, would be my pick for my fave 1980's dance rock 12". :D

This is usually referred to as the "US 12-inch Mix", and it's surprisingly hard to find on CD (I have it on a Canadian 80s compilation somewhere). Capitol/EMI seems to always put the UK 12" mix on the various comps, which is quite anemic in comparison.

Wake me up when someone covers "Spirit Of Eden". :P

I never have pop radio on. Does No Doubt keep it 'nice and sleazy'? I really got into the original.

It's a pretty bland cover. Maybe Gwen should do "Dumb Girl".
:lol: :lol: :lol: Heh heeeeee!

Mark, when you're in the City in a few weeks, we'll have to drag you into Badlands. Everytime I'm in there (and that isn't frequently), they'll play the video for No Doubt "In My Life." It's a bit wild with Gwen portraying a serial kiler. Love the part where she dumps a blow dryer into a bathtub of water and the boytoy she's grown tired of. :roll: The video is probably in heavy rotation on MTV (do they show videos anymore???).

Hey, every time they play No Doubt's "It's My Life" I turn the radio up. At least it's a SONG!!! Same thing for Maroon5's "This Love". Probably the only 2 "songs" that have graced the Billboard Pop Top 10 all year. The rest be hip hap crap. :evil:

Let's see more 50 Cent or No Doubt???? Which do i wanta hear??? DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUh.

Quite the contrast to the video Talk Talk did for the song...

Hey ya, Graham!!!

You know I loved that song also. OK , 3 good songs.

But actually I was thinking "Hey Ya" was more of a "last year" song.

Hello there!

A few month before no doubt released that song,
some french guys took the sample dont you forget
and made it into a floorfiller hit,i was suprised to
hear the no doubt version after i was playing the record
in the clubs for two months.
The name of the band is called Stunk of punk withe the title dont you forget ofcourse
