Going to see the Foo's @ MKB on the 3rd of july, hadnt heard of the Hot Rats before I looked at the support, theres a different kind of sound looking forward to seeing them :>

I haven't heard the original but this cover is contagious. You might not be sure you like it at first, but then you find yourself craving a second-third-fourth.. listen.
I thought it was quite good. I loved the Gang of Four version when it came out.
The album they have put out is a nice mix of styles. Don't know why folk are being so negative about them though! I was never a Supergrass fan but was impressed by this project.
listen sally sensitive. i know insulting people over the internet is a "big deal" to you. so much so that you took the time to teach me a lesson. please get off the internet if your going to be a pussy.
I'll tell you what kind of badass would make a video for a cover song....someone that appreciates good music and wants to have fun. Life is short dude, do something more productive with your time than insulting people facelessly on the internet. Breathe and enjoy life, like Hot Rats!
@1h05 This is about 20,000 times better than Gang Of Four. I can see what they were trying to do but I think the Hot Rats bashed it into something more like a song.
Gang of Four made a Punksong, they just made a Pop-Song. Thats the whole difference. The GoF Version is more agressive, this is like having coffee on sunday with your grandmom.

wow. now i've gone off the original. that wasn't even in the 'so bad its good' category. what pointless twaddle.
