'Sorry For Laughing' - Propaganda.
Original was by Josef K
Cheers Ilektrik! Another Propaganda cover was their version of
Femme Fatale by the Velvet Underground. It was through covers of songs by the Velvet Underground (Japan's
All Tomorrow's Parties and as mentioned above in this thread OMD's
Waiting for the Man) that led me to getting VU's first album. It's quite an odd feeling playing an album that you've never heard before and already knowing almost half the songs on it!
I recently listened to the Propaganda's version of
Femme Fatale and noticed that the words are slightly different. On the original Nico sings "Before you start, you're already beat" whereas Brücken sings "Before you start, you already bleed".
) yet these Scottish lads (from Dumfermeline like The Skids and Graham Sharpe , so must be one happening place) take this one particular track into a higher dimension
