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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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
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

Harrythespazz:kim rocks and rips the piss out of rober palmer
Musically and graphically there is absolutely NOTHING about this song that is an improvement over the Robert Palmer version. Its ok but its not better or more rockin.
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!
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

Wow, this is absolutely horrible. She is nothing compared to Robert Palmer, and what the hell's with the soldiers in the background during a kinky love song? I really don't see the connection.
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.

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.
