[1jacomo111111]

[ita06man]

As much as I like the original, this version does give a fresh and high tempo take on it. Great beat to it....!!!!! 8^)

[tpixeg]

Do want MOAR!

[aetechllc]

This is better than the original by the Pet Shop Boys. Am I right?

[angrywolf2009]

@aetechllc you're so right! I love this cover.

[Jodyxholm]

This video is brilliant! I love this girls!

[grasuh]

The girl singing kinda remind me of Kelly Osbourne.

[sukumar2000]

bäst!

[Daimien35]

[76SRV190]

Even though I love the PSB's, these girls are so fresh and more pop. I love the WEG!

[PSBelectronica]

Nice new version of the song!!!

Love A Little Black Dress and Suburbia too :)

[76SRV190]

beautifully shot and edited, and directed video. As are most of the West End Girls Videos! Love them!

[aetechllc]

@76SRV190

No doubt, you are absolutely correct, the music video is stunning. The turn on roles is brilliant, the camera work and lighting is master level to say the least.

[journeyofdiscovery]

A great video. It has all the elements. Great location, fantastic design elements, great cinematography, great colors, fantastic outfits, and proper girls for the video. A cover that does justice to an already great song. 10 out of 10. A rare gem.

[balazska1]

Original : Pet Shop Boys & Dusty Springfield - What Have I Done To Deserve This? (1987)

[drnrg31]

In duo form they sound like a new Hunam League

[alanjazzfan]

Aw. Swedish singers are so cute with their long 'S's.

[tpixeg]

very trancy cover.

really good one

[corpsdiplomatique]

not bad :-)

[kevinsanity]

LOVE it! I listen to and watch this every day. I would REALLY like a download!

[bosqueira]

twit daft punks

[angrywolf2009]

I think this is the best cover by WEG!

[rafaelchile2010]

Is Fantastic...........of side female of PSB.

[erikdesade]

what is this shit? oh my god another great song wasted....

[DaisyPuke]

I love this!

[debeyes]

WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS??

[kalim11]

just jack - stars in her eyes = it´s the same!!!

[aetechllc]

Very classy cover with a twist! Kudos!

[ob2kanob]

OK, the look is good. Gimme 10% more originality more edge. Please...

[jjavage]

@ob2kanob 10% more originality? try 90% lol.  It's not even an original song. Good voices tho, nice rendition of the original.

[nythawk81]

Excellent...

[clsleamington]

I didn't like this the first time I heard it. Now I do quite like. Notice how they have swapped over the male/female parts compared to the PSB's version!

[24thStDJ]

brilliant!!

[Mange299]

älskar låten!!

[mixedupfiles]

Of course they're not as good as PSB, but I still love everything about this song and video. The music is great and so is the performance. I especially love how they pay homage while the presentation is still completely original. Great job.

[carub00]

I dont like new versions of PSB songs... but this one is ok. Also, the Suburbia version is good too.

[123gjadeg123]

Crap!

[trilbydookie]

crap version, and that is not magnus carlsson from alcazar

[Gullabom]

of course not...this dude sings better

[Ametistann]

This is Magnus Carlson from Weeping Willows also a swedish singer he spells his last name with one s and Magnus from alcazar spells his last name with two s:) They are both great singers!!

[chissock]

Loved it!!

[glish73]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[olaaleksandra76]

very bad cover

[salz0723]

Rosanna Jirebeck and Isabelle Erkendal "forever".

I love the bright Keys and the Bass lines.

Once again Great Video and Sound.

Where can I buy 3 of these 12" single ?

New York City

D.J. Sal Z.

[kockos]

after just listening for 3 seconds i heard that this is just shit music,music for retarded

[damitzmike]

wow this is horrible compared to the pet shop boys original

[Surfinsocal]

That lady was SEXY !! Her voice was awesome.... ifit was her. Props to the sexy lady voice..

[Ferapont82]

Great job. That's a really good video. The horses reminded me of backpacking along Hadrian's Wall years ago. I was out in a field, only it was winter and very bleak, unlike the springtime flowers in the vid. And suddenly it felt like an earthquake. Looked up and a herd of black horses charged up to me and formed a half circle. The leader approached me quizzically but I had nothing to offer. They stormed off. Highlight at the end of a three month trip to Britain. Cheers...

[sideufa]

Супер! Особенно моей жене нравится!

[przemekgrabowski]

the best tongue-in-cheek twist would be if they get Neil Tennat to do the Dusty's part

[przemekgrabowski]

Tennant of course, I'm usually writing without looking on neither screen nor keyboard:-)

[discokugel73]

Great cover version :)

[jerome6931]

splendid just splendid, absolutely smashing

[rich737]

wow i didnt think that song could get better..but that was fab.....wow

[thosedays512]

Awesome cover!!! I love it now and then

[cockycol]

I love the original but this is so much more. Truly amazing and love the role reversal where the girls do Neil's vocals and Maguns picks up Dusty's. Each do them proud. About time they cracked the UK!!!

[Hikenforst]

I love this version! Wow!  This song is reborn! Go Girls!

[julianbutl]

Great cover of a great song. Voices, including accents are so great....

[julianbutl]

Really far out. Voices perfect for one thing....

[sideufa]

Супер!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[obscureclarte]

this is what I call a good cover !

[EnviousDominous]

I'm sure Ms. Springfield would be proud.

[X24RIDER]

This was one PSB's tune i thought the Girls wouldn't be able to pull off. How wrong was i, this cover is amazing!!! Love it!!!

[voxsilen]

this version is class act. Thx for posting!

[comomo8176]

This version is incredible, got hooked on it immediately! Simply fabulous sound!

This version gives the old song a new vibe...very enchanting....keeps ringing in my head all day!

[zapple68]

I love the original version by PSB's, and this version really grew on me...very good!

[AlejandritA101]

Hijas de papa con plata para hacer lo que quieran... aùn asì me gustan mucho!

[juanchop77]

this cover is very nice.i think they are so sexies.

[poffa2]

Perfect swedish girls!

[OZone2589]

The SOng Of the Pet Shop Boys Of What Have I Done To Deserve This Very Good But That version Of West End Girls Very Good Too

[babypetter]

brilliant!!!i love this version and the one whit dear dusty springfield!magnus carlssons voice is lovely!!!

[comomo8176]

i totally agree with you that magnus carlssons voice is simply enchanting!

[sukumar2000]

Bra låt och snygg video!!!

[dropdeadgorgeousxx]

where can i download this song ?

[roccoparks]

Limewire

[fowmoufpunk]

Good luck.  It's not available anywhere other than CD single, and it isn't popular enough for anyone to have it on "Lame"wire. Even iTunes isn't up on it.

[llensart]

Download VDOWNLOADER and you have the option of downloading the music as an MP3 , which i just did

[carub00]

This is the best cover by WEG of PSB.... Suburbia is good too.

[TheCarlR]

Awesome remake of an absolute classic!

[Paulosoy]

Me gusta el cover, pero siento que a estas chicas les falta carisma.

[clickandfunk]

hey girls! where is the second single? another song of psb or one of your songs?

Choose your own song because people start to get tired, I told you Isabelle, people want new songs not just psb covers.

Greetings to Rosanne, I miss you baby :D

[simplebilingue]

Muy facil... me gustan los PSB, no me molesta que se hagan miles de covers de ellos. Pero esperaba mas de la WEG... suena mucho como al primer disco GOES PETSHOPING.

Igual quiero escuchar su cover de LITTLE BLACK DRESS.

[francobahia]

muy bueno yankiee

[popfixer]

Brilliant, Dusty is smilyng at POP HEAVEN :)

[Magcn7]

Well, I must admit that it is a good version, but west end girls cannot re-edit ALL THE SONGS OF THE PSB. many facilities for a daughter of producer. THIS WAY THE ONE WHO IS NOT A SINGER. THEY MUST WRITE AND COMPOSE HIS OWN SONGS!!!

[Magcn7]

Bueno, debo reconocer que es una buena version,pero west end girls no puede reeditar TODAS LAS CANCIONES DE LOS PSB. muchas facilidades para una hija de productor. ASI QUIEN NO ES UNA ARTISTA

[RiizGirl]

Någon i west and girls

är dem/den där tjejerna från "Peaches" dem som sjunger rosa helikopter. men vet inte vem!

[FaderDJ]

det är hon som sjunger

[Dalecarlian]

Bra, men orginalet är som alltid bättre !!!

[merkurius08]

this song is very good

[wannskrk]

fun that on of them is the pink helicopter girl

[emmamatilda]

awesome song, don´t know why, just love it..

[Gac88pl]

nice song 5/5

[esquirel78]

It seems the girls have lost their horses:-)

[poffa2]

I love this video, and the song, and the girls.!!

Do i need to tell you more?

[sebbyknight]

Song: amazing. This version: amazing. Hairs on back of neck: tingling.

[arsenalforewer]

Hmm, I could had swear that it was the gay magnus carlson who sang this. But hell no, it was an another magnus carlson.

[ibisbill2]

This Magnus Carlson sings with the Swedish pop group Weeping Willows.

[liaelm]

i actually don't get the video. i absolutely LOVE the instrumental, is obsessed with the music. the singing is..ok

[EvertZmzm]

Just awesome!!!

[mylifeismuzik]

OK, well - I have the single. The instrumental rocks.

"Suburbia" by WEG was ultimate eargasm. This one - well, instrumental is awesome. The vocal version - could have been better.

And let's stick with it.

[jonazz23]

Everything that involves Magnus Carlsson turns out perfect, probably the best voice in Sweden!!

[haukansdotter]

Agree!! :D

[CactusVision]

They speak english the way I do... :) Sweden rocks.

[lad27]

they dont have any accent neither cockney in most of their songs its hard to understand misprounced English words, girls should take more English lessons brfore getting into studio

[afrollito]

great great great!!!!!!!!!!!

[fredrik19710821]

And the girls' accent sounds cockney authentic to me.

[fredrik19710821]

AWSOME cover. Just listen to it again. Its even better than the original I think. This was not one of my absolute PSB favourites but in this version its my no 1 PSB song. Spread the word everyone - this deserves to make it also internationally!

[trottamig]

Magnus Carlson has got such a beautiful voice. If you're not familiar with him, have a look at Weeping Willows "Touch me"!

[lidiapsb]

they destroyed a good pop song :D

[esquirel78]

It seems the girls have lost their horses:-)

[BjarneBlom]

Oh, come on, you Protectors of the Holy Grail - stop this intolerable pompous music police business. The song is a PSB classic, yes. The girls sing with a pretty thick accent, yes. But have they got no talent? NO! This is an excellent cover to anyone with reasonably functional ears in their head. The Magnus guy does a good job too. So what's wrong with just enjoying a good pop song, really?

[lidiapsb]

they are a psb parody

[jonsmithson999]

I take back everything I've said about this group, quite like this

[thanxright]

Very good! I like this cover!

[twixrox]

0o , my cousin.

[Skylinesandsunsets]

This remake doesn't have the powerful, goosebump giving intro that the original version has. Does anyone else out there think that Magnus Carlson should have been replaced with...oh I don't know...maybe..possibly....Neil Tennant?!?

You read right, the original PSB Neil should have sung in this. Token of gratitude, that sort of thing.

[scazza1992]

quite possibly could be business, but in an interview they discuss how they have both always loved the work of PSB and grew up with it. and i for one would not buy WEST END GIRLS albumbs because i like PSB. they are two different artists.

[scazza1992]

i can see their devotion to the boys, but they cant compare to the original greatness of the boys. Unfortunatly their accents dont convey the music as well as it should.

[lidiapsb]

devotion? If you take a look to the website of the duo where Isabelle was before and read her favourites groups she never mention psb at all...

I think this is all bussines and easy money, it is like 2 girls do the same with Erasure, the fans will buy it even if they dont like because they like the original group.

[esquirel78]

It seems the girls have lost their horses:-)

[DaveUndertaker]

Satanas, you say "they don't offer nothing new" but they are a PSB tribute act who cover PSB songs. What do you expect?

[lidiapsb]

dont be cruel!! Now I find these girls like a parody of PSB more than a tribute. dont you think?

[Acelera202]

The male vocal is the best bit of the song.

The female spoken bits are quite terrible, on the other hand. The thing that grates me about WEG are the lowest common denominator production values. Every song so far uses the same drum sounds and, sometimes, even the same snare rolls like they do on here.

[jonsmithson999]

Your forgetting they are a PSB tribute act

[lidiapsb]

electro there are so many people who dont like them, is not just me. What they are doing is ridiculous, they dont offer nothing new.

psb just care the royalties...

[70719800]

Loved it when it came, and I have to say this version is brilliant , and Magnus is one of swedens no 1 singers

[ElectroRef]

LYDIA:

Why are they a disaster Lydia? You are a disillusioned fan. The "Pets" obviously don't mind what WEG's are doing or else they wouldn't plug it on their official website and that's fine by me. It is bringing the music of Tennant/Lowe to an audience who would otherwise not hear it. Just because YOU don't like what these girls are doing (and I don't care much for it either) doesn't mean that what they are doing is wrong. You seem to suffer from delusions of grandeur at times Lydia...tbc

[ElectroRef]

CONTINUED... - in other words: if YOU don't like it, it makes it wrong. Grow up and stop being so self obsessed with your, quite frankly, unhealthy obsession with "the Boys". That goes for you as well "Chris Freak".

[lidiapsb]

thanks dave for the promotion. remember you have my permission to promote Philanthropy too. Thanks god we didnt cover psb tracks and all is original. I feel now very good reading your comments, is nice to see more people think like me.

WEG is an announced disaster and I am so sorry for PSB because they have so much ilusion on this but the fans are not idiots and they have GOOD MUSICAL TASTE.

[jasetheaceukuk]

Cheese at it's ultimate

[jpcrossman]

I think this royally sucks beyond belief... totally terrible. The video is a joke as well. These women have no talent whatsoever, and the little they have is definitely from their voices.... it is from the instruments. THIS GROUP IS A JOKE!

[nando3e76]

Wonderful. Lovely. No words.

[esquirel78]

Hey girls, where are your horses?:)

[mmunson]

I hope Americans can buy the release when it comes out :)

[pethead87]

it's fucking terrible xP

[hiccupheiki]

I still love it :)

[red405]

Love this song :D

[MarkSP2]

I'ts not poor or bad. It's amazing!

[esquirel78]

It seems the girls have lost their horses:-)

[BuddahUK]

I think it's respectful enough to keep the song's integrity and quirky enough to stand on its own merits. I bet Neil and Chris like it. I'd rather West End Girls did it then someone like Robbie Williams or Girls Aloud.

[petercrow]

i absolutely love it !! it's very hard to cover such song, and the three of them did a wonderful job ! :)

[DaveUndertaker]

West End Girls are managed by pop svengali Lidia Satanas who runs the Tennant-Lowe forum. She is also working with a new boyband called Euroboy who will be releasing a new PSB-related single in 2009.

[MissAlegra]

(Reply for DaveUndertaker)

???????????

(At least you promote the forum, thanks, now I hope we`ll be more there. Lydia should definitely read your comment!)

[Andrew1610]

What have we done to deserve this?

[grizzzlie]

Pity that Pet Shop Boys gave their "okay" for such a bad bad cover.

[chefash20]

Anyone figured out how to buy this single outside of Sweeden. ITunes is country specific, i think.

Seems silly for me to be forced to pirate the song.

[infin8orbit]

you can download from their site when it's available

[scumbucket1]

its poor but hey they love the pet shop boys......

[Zeneeka0405]

Fuck! As a devoted Pet Shop Boys fan I'm not going to tolerate this another minute!

[MisterLaus]

A brilliant cover of this song, Dusty Springfield is tossing and turning in her grave, The Pet Shop Boys fans needs to ask them selves one Question. "What Have WE Done To Deserve This?".

[MisterLaus]

The guy in the Video is Magnus Carlsson. He is the lead singer in the band "Weeping Willows" , He thinks that he sometimes is Morrissey. Acting like him on stage and sings cover songs. Now to the song, How can anybody possibly like this?. Seriously?. When West End Girls Released their Debut album "Goes Petshopping" thay said that , the next album (oh dear) was going to content New Material. and since then, Pet Shop Boys wrote some Material to them, jolly good indeed. and what comes up? .

[MissAlegra]

I like this, far from the original PSB of course, but still interesting and weird. The girls look like android robots!

[esquirel78]

It seems the girls have lost their horses.

[esquirel78]

Hey girls, where are your horses?

[astrolabe1976]

the male singer is infinitely more talented than the girls.

[megahype]

Wowaweewa! Extremely nice!

[MarkSP2]

Agreeeee!

[nicole1985nl]

Poor, just like most West End Girls remakes. The girls simply can't sing and their accents ruin everything. Even the decent male singer can't save this song.

[YvonneCinderella1978]

I think the guy is called Magnus Carlson.

[esquirel78]

I liked Issabelle better with red hair.

[cls14]

Correction, who is the guy?

[Ricorchette]

Just read the info comment of the video...under the 'subscribe' button...

[cls14]

How is the guy?

[esquirel78]

Magnus Carlson

[YvonneCinderella1978]

Great version of the Pet Shop Boys song.I wish there were more modern versions of old Pet Shop Boys songs. PS. Does anyone know what the Pet Shop Boys think of this version?

[rlhnat]

Great video, great song !!!

[linmajon]

Pop music will never be better than this. PSB is one of the best groups ever. Great version, Almost better than the original.

[MarkSP2]

Amazing song! So sad that West End Girls will stop together...

[mylifeismuzik]

Erm, how do you know that?

[hiccupheiki]

I love it!!!! :)
