SONG OF THE DAY [#341]

'what i have done to deserve this' | west end girls

nothing makes more sense than a band named after a pet shop boy song covering a pet shop boys song. brilliant.

in this case it's those swedish funsters covering the PSB's/dusty springfield classic, 'what i have done to deserve this.' [and just for your 'gee whiz' collection, WEG's debut, released in 2006, is comprised entirely of PSB songs.] and just as PSB enlisted the cleopatra-eyed springfield for their call-and-response ode to dysfunctional relationships, west end girls enlisted a little help from their countryman, magnus carlson. [more for you gee whiz collection: magnus carlson has also guested with the acid house kings and the sweptaways. there, you gee whiz tank has been topped off.]

in all honesty, WEG's version doesn't really deviate from the original other than the gender vocal switch. is it disposable? you betcha. is it completely unnecessary? absolutely. is it a ton of fun regardless? most definitely. time to boogie.
