Today, on a gelato date, I heard a cover of The La's There She Goes play over the radio. With a female vocalist.
My date-wife asked me what I thought the song was about and I gave the answer I've heard: it's about main-lining heroin.
The W'pedia, which you shouldn't ever cite in papers, not that I have, avers the cover is by Sixpence None the Richer. And it's 8 years old. So much for breaking news blogging. Article here.
The La's have been a bit vague about the exact nature of the perkily redundant tune. It's at least ambiguous. Which makes it a curious cover for Sixpence, doesn't it? Especially with a female vocalist? I don't listen to their stuff but I understand that they love Jesus.
Curious.

I only associated that song with Sixpence. I forget the movie, but they covered it as part of the soundrack for it. There was a time when you couldn't watch MTV for more than an two hours without seeing the music video for it.
Not that I would know, of course.
