have covered Blondie's 1980 single for Australian broadcaster triple j's Like A Version series. Explaining why they chose this particular song to cover, bassist Georgia Davies says, “When me and Abi [vocalist Abigail Morris] were teenagers, we used to cover that song as our go-to at Karaoke.” Morris notes that the use of the word 'cover' here is somewhat loose, and admits, “We used to it at house parties and clear the room.
This is us trying to reclaim all those years and do it well.” “It's such a fun and explosive song to do,” Davies adds. “It's very TLDP, I think,” Morris says.
“It's very joyful, a bit sexy, a bit playful...
also very commanding as well...
. that kind of frontwoman energy of being in charge of your own sexuality, and I think we're always drawn to music like that. is a really good example of that power and playfulness together.
