I believe the Austrailian rocker Jimmy Barnes recorded this many years ago...

It's a slightly different version, I believe. I have heard it, but can't get Meat's version out of my head long enough to fully remember how it went.

The verses are different, but the chorus is pretty similar. It was credited to Vanda, Young, Durkee, Meat Loaf and Patti Russo. So it seems they started out with the original Vanda & Young song and tried to 're-invent' it. I'm not sure which version I prefer, though - the INXS & Jimmy Barnes version on The Lost Boys soundtrack is killer, but this has its own charm too.
I was surprised this was released as a single in the UK, though, as it was one of the B-sides to I'd Lie For You (And That's The Truth) just a few months before, and although they usually have rules to say that former B-sides are not eligible for chart positions, this made something like number 21 on it's own merit. Probably due to the really quite smart 12" picture disc I would say 8/10. |
