Yeah, it's got that oh-so-British Bonzo-like music hall vibe. Not my thing either, but the rest of the track makes it bearable.

I feel like an iconoclast by proclaiming my love for the stereo remaster of Sgt. Pepper, but it's in my top 3 (though I've tweaked my own personal version incorporating Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane/It's All Too Much. Revolver comes close (once I've worked in Paperback Writer/Rain).

Not a fair fight with Debbie in the band (and a bigger production budget). But the elements were all there; the Nerves had some amazing pop pedigree, wish they'd stuck around longer.

I had planned to post that later! Spoiler!

But, yeah, cool for them to cover something that wasn't from the initial batch of singles.
