  • I find this Sonic Youth incarnation another proof of their genius. Who else could make a tongue-in-cheek tribute pop album under the name Ciccone Youth?

    Nonetheless, Kim is freakin' sexy

  • madonna fans

  • I have been searching for a new Pickin Cotton Blues like song for years, that it is so bad it's that good. I have it!

  • Oo is ciccone you just sonic youth?

  • +mike watt!~!!!

    And Kim Gordon is a goddess.

  • you a creep

  • Comment removed

  • Kim Gordon and Sonic Youth either paying tribute to pop radio songs or being incredibly ironic. They have paid tribute to Mariah Carey, Madonna, Karen Carpenter, Bette Davis.

  • don't remove the embedding!! this is fckin rad

  • robert palmer is amazing sonic youth is amazing. I hope your piss smells

  • no u!

  • This version is SO much better musically.

    Amazing . Palmer's is really just like a slow flow of piss.

  • this version was recorded in a karaoke booth

  • lol....dumbass

  • Kim is pretty much talking through this, but it gives it a real sexual energy. Excuse me for sounding perverted, but that's the impression I get.

  • Great stuff!

  • This was a really torched cover of a Robert Palmer classic. Talk about a flat toned voice. Ahgggh that is like Paris Hilton doing that same remake, a royal insult to the man.

  • Yep, don't go on talking about sonic youth without knowing them will you?

    Sonic youth is not about pure musicality, believe it or not they have ideological/societal messages in their music and they're way more profound to figure that any of your "melody creators" yup, that's right billy boy.

  • Amen.

  • Kim Gordon and Kim Deal in the same video. Now that is good.

  • Huh?

  • Comment removed

  • I have to agree with Cheesypoof389... This is my opinion, and I'd really like people NOT bashing me for this.

  • It is not a cover as a tribute, it is a cover meant as an exposé, so if you prefer the original, it means you agree with the objectifying of women., Which is up to you. I am not bashing you. Well done. Inequality forever.

  • I don't LIKE how Robert Palmer portrayed women, but its just a video.

    I don't really care what this video was made as or for.

    And I really don't care for the sarcastic comment at the end of your reply. Just letting you know.

  • Yes, why can't we be a justice lover, tolerant, open minded individual like you who's willing to try and understand others point of view without gushing and bashing?? Oh why not? You're rare, a true shot of a saint, thanks for the exposure. Usually just the opposite are on this site.

  • black flag ear rings

  • i really really love kim, when they came to México i felt she has a very strong personality. My favorite bassplayer because of her creativity.

  • VIDEO QUALITY IS TOO DAMN BRIGHT!

  • this song just rocks in kim gordons voice

    the original sucks

    viva kim!

  • I'm sorry i have listened to this a million times to get used to it.. And i haven't.. Roberts was way better in my opinion. Don't be all like THIS ISN'T ROBERT this whats-her-face its my opinion don't like it DEAL WIT IT. she's okay i guess...

  • Cheesypoof.389 i can DEAL WITH IT that you prefer the original sexist version, and don't get the piss take here on offer. Robert Palmer is a disgusting slime ball, Kim Gordon is not. DEAL WITH IT. (She's OK i guess'? she is in her 50's you pervert.)

  • I'm just stating my opinion thats all

  • du rond listen mate its done dead pan to mock the cheesy rob palmer video and of course war pigs ...remember seeing this on a show bk in the 80s fkin jumped out at ya lol

  • no doubt

  • i have never seen this side of kim before, but it's well different, all that is still confirmed is that kim rocks and rips the piss out of rober palmer

  • agreed

  • Is that Nam in the background?

  • Kim Gordon is still so damn sexy, I saw a show in Guadalajara, Mexico at 2007. She was wearing a dress and she has so damn sexy beautyful legs at his 54 years!. Wojoooouu mama!

  • 'Ciccone' Youth did a top version of 'Into the Groove'

    Heh, Heh. Robert Palmer...he was so toss

  • thurston moore singing that song is SO sexy.

  • Sonic Youth Rock!!!!! Hell Yeah!!!!!

  • FUUUCK YEEEEAAAAAH!!!!!!

  • I don't think this is supposed to be "better" necessarily... just more fun.

  • well how about you fock oddd and say that on the page for a Robert Palmer video. In case you haven't noticed this is a Ciccone Youth video and no one gives a shit what any Robert Palmer fan thinks. Get a focking eye-test while you're at it

  • suck my battery shithead

  • Sonic Youth fucking rock..you were the sopundtrack to my youth in the late eighties...earlt nineties.....!!!!

  • i love kim gordon

  • lemme enlighten you: kim recorded her take of the sexist song in a karaoke booth, applying her deadpan lead vocal in ironic way, she used the combat image because it's a typically 'male heroic' type thing, and she was subverting it + the song in a comical way. really a benchmark of irony and sarcasm in the underground in the 80's.

  • It's nice of you to explain jokes. I was hoping I could do that as part of my community service.

  • Nailed it.

  • Amazing lol
