Under Cover #2



I first started digging in to The Flying Lizards when Sean Kirkpatrick of The Nervous Curtains gave me a pile of really killer music a while back.
I fell in love with several of the jams including this one from their 1981 album "Fourth Wall"... it's been in my head for a long time now, so I just had to make a pass at covering it. I had an idea to get a certain local celebrity to sing it for me, but eh...I didn't feel like dealing with her right now and just sang it myself.
This is my first recording made in "The Dome"!
Lovers and Other Strangers by New Fumes
