not to sound like the ultimate PUSSY, but i love both versions of this song. i feel the purpose of covers and rerecordings is create something different out of something that already exists - not to reproduce the exact same thing. i love how sparce this song is with its droning, minimilistic, two-note bassline and guitar stabs. simuntanesously i love the two drummer attack of the rerecording, which just slams your head back and forth as marco pours distorted hodge podge over the whole thing
omfg this version of this song is probably the best adam ant i've ever heard - i cannot stop playing it - i listened to dirk wears white socks ALL the bloody time when i was 15 (27 years ago!) - me and my pal used to buy double breasted jackets at the sally anne and do our best to convert them into ant jackets - we'd steal his mom's blouses and makeup...and vodka - god i love adam ant
LOVE this. This is one of my favourite Ant songs. I didn't know nine inch nails covered it till today. Great cover, but this was just so raw and hungry. Early Ants stuff is still my favourite music of all time.
Love the old pictures. Nice to see Jordan on them too.
@rwaites64 who is it then lol???Of course it is; this was the old line-up of the Antz. They redid this song when they changed their line-up to the more commercially successful one. This version is from around 1978-79.The remake of this became the B-side of "Dog eat Dog" or "Antmusic", cant remember which one at the moment.
@deanjones19 It was Adam Ant... NiN covered it. There's a video here on YouTube somewhere with Adam guesting at a NiN gig and singing it with them. AWESOME.
2:05..?

I personally love the NIN version more. Just because I enjoy the heavy feeling. But wow this absolutely amazing.

Though I've been quite a fan of Trent, i believe the best version comes from Adam.
But you must check out the definitive one on CBS.
