Just to prove how it went beyond rip-off. It was like they'd just erased the vocals and sang over the backing track.Séamus Dugganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574186409184247059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-500794647428701667.post-60116263178067503502013-05-06T10:00:17.564+01:002013-05-06T10:00:17.564+01:00a classic and Elastica had to be one of the most b...a classic and Elastica had to be one of the most blatant "inspired by" / "ripped off" everAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-500794647428701667.post-34671718977799838932013-05-06T08:44:44.365+01:002013-05-06T08:44:44.365+01:00Yes, the album version is 1.45.

Funny that they had to add a verse and piano to make a single when most bands were cutting M8s and fading early. 'Outdoor Miner' is leading me to Amazon... thanks Seamus!Hissyfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865300919319235353noreply@blogger.com
