Sophia George was a one hit wonder and her hit “Girlie Girlie” was a bit crap frankly. So I therefore have no idea why on earth Blondie decided to cover this in 2011 on their album Panic Of Girls. I have never heard this before tonight. It’s frankly awful. And given how good their cover of The Tide Is High is, it just makes it all doubly bad.
Reggae is frequently astonishingly brilliant. But done badly, it’s truly unspeakable. Whether it’s a novelty hit, or a white band attempting a reggae cover or merely adding a reggae dimension to an existing song (I’m looking at YOU McCartney. What fucking possessed you to put the clodhopping reggae bit into Live and Let Die FFS?) bad reggae is a thing of horror.
So have you anything worse than this? Do let me know…
