Not just a cover, it also contains deadly UB40!

UB40 are horrible, however.

 

That song is actually not bad. Especially compared to other number ones from this time period.

If that’s a remake of the fantastic Howard Jones song: Why?? (I’m well aware it isn’t)

If it’s not, they are too stupid to come up with a song title on their own so earned a -6 either response.

(I’m told D:Ream was the opening act for Take That — if true I demand we open it up to -7!)  Anyway, gtfo.

I don’t dislike Stiltskin. Just think it’s comparably bland and needs its wings clipping a bit.
