As a kid I loved "Fame" American TV series in the 1980s. Pretty sure they did a lot of covers.e_jane said:Is it totally awful that, when my kid was doing a report on Michael Jackson in high school, we listened to various versions of "Man in the Mirror" and... we liked the "Glee" version better than the original?

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_Control_(Raf_song))Wikipedia said:"Self Control" is a song by Italian singer Raf, released in 1984. [...]
The track topped the charts in Italy and Switzerland, and started the explosion and dominance of Italo disco-style recordings in continental European charts during the 1980s.
(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italo_disco)Wikipedia said:Although Italo disco was successful in mainland Europe during the 1980s, only few singles reached the UK charts, such as Ryan Paris's "Dolce Vita", Laura Branigan's "Self Control", Baltimora's "Tarzan Boy", Spagna's "Call Me" and Sabrina's "Boys", all of which were top 5 hits. Italo disco maintained an influence in the UK's underground music scenes in the UK, and its impact can be heard in the music of several British electronic acts such as the Pet Shop Boys, Erasure and New Order.
DennisN said:Ok, a bit of a guilty pleasure here from me...
I have to admit I love this song...
...it's Italo Disco, and the sounds are dated and the video is a bit cheesy, but I think the song is darn good; I can't resist the melodies and arrangement .
And I favor the original because it's more rough than the cover.

I sure can't guarantee you'll approve of it .pinball1970 said:First look @DennisN it does look heavy on the fromages de belles France but I will give it a go, as it's you!
Cheese vid, 80s sound, meh baseline....This better have a killer chord progression that Bach would be proud of and lyrics that would make Lennon weep!DennisN said:I sure can't guarantee you'll approve of it .
I'd say it's best to try to filter out the dated sound when listening, and listen to the feeling and composition of it, it's very catchy, and with a strange dark feeling to it.
(The bassline sucks though in my opinion, so try not to listen to that ).
No sorry, it hasn't at all . It's pop, but I somehow like the dark vibe in it (and the sort of double chorus, which is unusual in a song... in my ears it has two different choruses following eachother, which I think is cool).pinball1970 said:This better have a killer chord progression that Bach would be proud of and lyrics that would make Lennon weep!
