That made me want to punch myself repeatedly in the nose. Why did I just listen to that?

It's not as good as the original but it's a bit of fun and it's an original interpretation at least.

Of course - the original is better. That song is way too good to be covered easily. Brings me back to my childhood listening to Eddy Grant.
