I understand what you mean, although this doesn't take away the context of the song, it's a different interpretation. It may seem "upbeat" but the original premise of the punk movement was to speak out for social injustices in a very extreme way. Although I really do like the original, this version still brings awareness to the initial subject, and isn't that what Vega wanted to convey in the first place?
I fucking love the lemonheads, and have for 15 years. Personally I could give a shit if some if a select few dildo's don't like it. It's much nicer if dickheads don't favor the same groups as you.

One of the blandest bands of the 90s. Where it not for Dando's cover boy looks and grunge posturing, I doubt these guys would have ever gotten signed. Dando couldn't write a memorable hook if his life depended on it so he released a bunch of forgettable 3 chord singles and had a very minor hit with a cover version of Mrs Robinson. I just listened to his 'new' stuff. 20 yrs later, he sounds exactly the same. It's a Shame About Evan
@adosraron Glad I'm not the only one. Like nails on a chalkboard. That lethargic "I'm really high" drone used to drive me up a wall. The Lemonheads were/are one of the worst bands of the 90s. Hated them back then and I hate them even more now.
@ColorsBright I first heard it on a bootleg album and thought it was great. Technically it's ALMOST a 90s cover by the way : it was released in '89 :) (I know what you mean though)
Alas - you may be on to something ... this is the song that got us a major label deal - just think you were THIS CLOSE to never having too hear the lemonheads appy-
This version is much better. But you need to do the guitar riff with the notal harmonics, instead of writing your own solos. That hook compliments the vocals alot. The scatting during the prechorus is not needed. Sing the song like she does. Your voice is good, but trying to overdoit kills the reality of what Suzanne did. And the guitar player is very bad.
I love it!!! The Lemonheads was my first concert! I wanted to loose my virginity to Evan but then I realized I was a Lesbian...lol...Still lovin evan though! lol
Worst cover ever, what a shitty sound.

that was the idea - see we were on tour - summer '87
- couldn't get away from this song on the radio - started
getting our revenge by playing it live (and actually started
to enjoy butchering it ) then we met miss Vega at a breakfast place in nyc - she told us how much she dug it
