Kurt on this song
Many people know this song as recorded by the beautiful Debbie Harry and Blondie, but in fact the original was written by Jack Lee, who played in the legendary LA punk/pop group The Nerves. Along with Lee, the other members included Paul Collins and Peter Case. Both members would go on to front bands like The (Paul Collins) Beat and The Plimsouls.. both staples in late 70's Power Pop. My version stays pretty true to the original, but it also reminds me of a great Swedish rock n' roll band called the Hellacopters. I saw them once in Boston and it totally blew my mind.. actually, they were probably the greatest band i've ever seen live. Speaking of Boston, Kay Hanley from the legendary Boston group Letters to Cleo, sang back ups on this! She is awesome! The intro sound clip is taken from Linus's voice mail on his phone. He's got a fancy phone... my phone doesn't even have a voicemail option, it's that old!

Song produced by Linus of Hollywood

@soluckyboy what is ignorant is slamming great music on there own video to promote another band, btw you may know the word "hypocrite".. just saying.

[soluckyboy]

Its a great shame talent like 'EUTOPIA' is put down by ignorant people like 'izombiex9' You cant please everyone I guess! At least the guys tried to do the song differently unlike many versions around which are direct copies with just a change in vocals. I will stick by the guys as they work so hard and deserve respect. Maybe on another point you dont like the music but Alexander can out play 90% of guitarists around today...and that is a fact!!
