Dave Stewart said that the secret to making a really good cover version is to completely re-work it and make it sound totally different to the original. This is a stroke of genius what he has pulled off here.
-
The Chiffons girl group also had a cover of It's My Party.
-
No disrespect to Lesley Gore but the original lacked atmosphere and feeling.
This was an excellent reworking.

.....love it and remember watching this on totp in 81.
-
I love this cover. I think this version comes across very much more impassioned than the original, considering the first person viewpoint of the lyric.
-
What can I say, this was another stroke of genius from Dave Stewart. Babara Gaskin's voice was made just for this song...



One of the few covers that turned out better than the original.
