Can anyone else name another song containing the word 'spanner'?  (I can)

The Star Bangled Spanner!

aaack!  WOS Go-Gos, one of the least-necessary covers, like, ever.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Neither "Don't Change" nor anything by Gary US Bonds is in the Morey-era Db.  And I gotta believe The Capitols makes bustout number 3!

ETA: I meant Capitols cover.

VHM VH, of course.

And BTW, what *was* Belinda Carlisle's deal -- I know she's married to a guy (James Mason's son) but she was one of the butchest-looking women in rock. Joan Jett's more feminine.

Well, you know she's got the beat!

But seriously, The Go-Go's had a pretty great rhythm section, especially on that song.

the very short hair really gobsmacked me at the time. And when she started dating Ron Cey I got all excited, thinking maybe they were each other's beards.

Haha!  Her autobiography is all about coke and The Dodgers.  She makes Courtney look like Debbie Gibson!
