Whether or not it’s a bit of tongue-in-cheek tomfoolery is up to you to decide, but the Manc group’s collision of their synth broodiness with the bubblegum fun of the original is pretty great to behold.ġ2 Arctic Monkeys – ‘Love Machine’ (Girls Aloud) – ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ (One Direction)Īnother Live Lounge favourite, The 1975’s Matthew Healey sang this like he really bloody meant it. If this is punk sacrilege then we’re going straight to hell. A supersonic rollercoaster ride of riffs and jokes, The Offspring make Ken sound like he’s had a really heavy night and should probably think about laying off the fags pretty soon. If you’ve been denied the existence of this lol-a-thon up until now then we are sorry for your loss but believe us – you’re in for a real treat. Squeaky clean boy band Backstreet Boys probably would have balked at some of the singer’s subject matter on that record, but surely must have approved of this errant, smoky synth reworking of their late 1990s biggest hit – a total banger.

‘Sucker’, the most recent album from riot grrrl-loving Charli XCX, was full of edgy tales of getting wrecked and into all manner of shenanigans. Electrelane were made to cover this song.ġ5 Charli XCX – ‘I Want It That Way’ (Backstreet Boys) Seeing Susman totally lose her shit as the song climaxes only confirms this. It’s as far from novelty as you can get –a prime example of a band paying tribute to a song they revere. Electrelane’s Verity Susman gives it a good bash here though, taking Bronski Beat’s canonical synth-pop smash of 1984 and owning it. It’s a universal truth that few vocalists can outdo Jimmy Somerville’s heart-stopping wail.
