Got the music in me today yeah

So while I'm driving to work this... um.. afternoon, WTUL is playing this really awful cover of the Psychedelic Furs' immortal tune Pretty in Pink by some girl pseudo-punk band trying to be, I don't know, ironic or something. Well, whatever, it didn't work. The original song, bubblegummy Molly Ringwaldishness aside, had a certain airy sadness that I always found catchy enough not to hate. This rendering had a manic-in-your-face-we-are-cool-because-we-are-playing-an-80's-pop-song-as-though-we-were-the-first-not-really-punk-band-to-think-of-it kind of thing going that made me want to strike my dashboard with a hammer. Also now I have Pretty in Pink playing in my head.. probably for the rest of the day.
