This is a normal post Oh, no, no, no, no.
The original was brilliant because it captured the zeitgeist of the late 70's and British industry going down the pan. The version above has zero impact because it lacks context and energy.

This is a normal post There was a whole thing years ago, taking punk songs and redoing them languidly in a jazz style.
Barefoot were another group.
Predates "solo girl with a ukulele doing shite covers" but the same sort of thing - for adverts unsurprisingly.

This is a normal post In fact they might not have been done for adverts to begin with.
But they were certainly flogged off to any agency wanker with a cheque book and no original ideas, since there was no artistic credibility whatsoever. The crap version of Teenage Kicks being especially ubiquitous.

Senor Coconut was at least funny with his covers.

This is a normal post I have a lot of time for Señor Coconut
because he doesn't take himself too seriously, and it's done well.
