Flying Saucer Attack did a pretty interesting take on this song, and - speaking of cover versions - there's a whole album's worth of just covers of this very song out there - "A Houseguest's Wish: Translations of Wire's 'Outdoor Miner'"...some pretty cool, some entirely pointless.
Haha! I was just listening to A Houseguest's Wish, followed by that novelty cover by Gus & Fin, which is likewise worth a listen. I didn't know Jarvis was also making his own contribution.
great thanks for putting this on :) wonder what cover we'll get in London, I'm hoping for Lou Reed... as saw Bowie and Hawkwind covers last December, plus I love Lou Reed too
Omg. One of my favorite songs ever being performed by one of my favorite people ever. This totally made my night. Thanks so much!!

I saw Wire too in Birmingham but thought it was at Rebeccas? Maybe it was Barbarellas...

Actually, Lush did this song serious justice. Check out their version.

I love this song so much... you gotta hear the single version by Wire with the extended piano solo [which this cover also has.]
The song is about leaf miner insects, by the way.
