I feel I should warn you now, I’m always going to be a sucker for anyone who covers an Adam Ant song. It’s the ultimate in nostalgia for me. This particular song was always one of my favorites. Oh many an hour I would waste watching Mtv, waiting for the rocket to come on, to see if they would mention an upcoming ant video in the next hour.
Stand and Deliver – Adam Ants
I came across this cover by accident. It isn’t new, it came out in 1997. Am I the only one who feels like 1997 was just the other day and is shocked to realize it was 8 years ago? I’m getting old, aren’t I? Well, just my love for Adam Ant dates me, doesn’t it? Ah, well… more people should cover Adam Ant songs. It makes me happy. [I have another one saved for a rainy day.]

No, you’re not the only one. It’s shocking to me to think that 1990 was fifteen years ago and that my little sister is going to be 30 this year. SOMEONE, MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!
What? It’s not the 90’s anymore? I would never know that from looking at my music collection! LOL. Remember that song about the mom who’s stuck in 1985? I am stuck in 1995. God I am such a loser!
Sounds like Suger Ray tried to be true to the song.
Christine – You are not the only one. One of these days all of those CDs will be collectables! Any one need an old Kinks CD?
The thing that might be dating you most is mentioning that you remember when MTV used to play music.
Those were the days.
