I love this song by Vitamin C and I love the way the sample from The Magnificent Seven is used in the song. The singing is perfect one of the better Vitamin C songs and the beats. I like it when samples from original songs are used perfectly in newer songs and this actually really succeeds. I’m not sure about other Vitamin C songs as they tend to be pretty poppy but this song definitely has an edge to it especially since it’s utilizing the sample from The Clash.
Hey though Vitamin C aka Colleen Fitzpatrick is a pretty big star. She made her acting debut in the awesome John Waters film Hairspray. She played Amber Von Tussle. She did several movies after that but later she was in the band Eve’s Plumb. Remember them? The pop/punk band who were known for the Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons song December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night). Oh maybe we should blog about that song on Destroy Rock & Roll too.
Check it out and let me know what you think? Do you like the original the remake or both?

WHO THE FUCK IS VITAMIN C???!!!
She was in a punk/pop band Eve’s Plum in the early 90s then she went complete pop with a slight bit of dance with her Vitamin C project. If you’ve seen Hairspray the original John Waters version then you’ll recognize her. She was Amber. Check it out.
I agree completely! Second Best song on the album, right behind the other COVER, Split Enz “I Got You!” Why does it always work that way?
