I Think We're Alone Now

[2volvos]

Hi

I remember in the early 90s some punk pop band along the lines of The Lemonheads doing a version of I Think We're Alone now.

Anyone rememeber who it was?

Was thinking of doing a version with the jam band I get together with.

That takes me back. Seeing Lene Lovich at Loughborough university in around 1979. Bloody excellent gig.

Aw man - that is just awesome. Su-bloody-perb.

Two minutes of energy - what's not to like.

To be honest a bit more raw than I remember (I was thinking that it was along the lines of Lemonheads' Mrs Robinson) but all the better for it. I think we could give that a good old go next time we get together...

I haven't heard it for years... used to have it on tape recorded off the radio ... yeah not quite I how I remembered it either .... brain has been fuggeled by clubbing n gettin old lol

I can't remember where I heard it - I was at Plymouth Poly and on an exchange programme in Connecticut in '89 so it might have been over there...I definitely didn't have a copy of it so must've been on the telly or radio.

Have now worked out the chords and am giving it a bash on the old leccy guitar. Quite easy really, which is what songs and sounds like that are all about. I love the DIY quality to it.

I don't really like that at all, which is odd as I'm a big fan of 2 minutes of pop thrash!!
I just don't think the song lends itself to that treatment.

Of all the cover versions I've heard I like the Rubinoos and, funnily enough, the Tiffany version best!!

The Tiffany version is a brilliant piece of bubblegum pop.

Didn't she end up living somewhere surreal like Basingstoke or Swindon? Not that they are surreal in their own right (actually they are...), but a strange place for an American teen pop star to end up.

From wikipedia said:

Having divorced Garcia on August 1, 2004, Tiffany married a British man named Benn George, while dividing her time between Cannock, England and Los Angeles.

Must admit I thought it were Basingstoke myself. My birth town
