I haven’t been able to get this song out of my noggin today. I actually remember it playing in a most bizarre dream I had last night. The dream involved tornadoes. I’ve been having a lot of dreams with tornadoes as of late. I’m not sure what that’s about.
Anyway. Back to the song.
While I now know this song was originally written by the Beatles, I will forever think of this song as a Siouxsie and the Banshees song. Because her/their version is so much better.
(YouTube link if you do not see the above embedded video .)
And how did I forget that Robert Smith of The Cure was at one time a member of the band?
Until next time...
I’m seriously going to pretend you didn’t just dis the Beatles in favour is Suxiousie.
But I do love “Dear Prudence”
I LOATHE the Beatles. Never been a fan. I respect how they changed the face of music, but I’m just not a fan of their music.
Oh, and PS– what the fuck is she on in that video? She’s not even lip syncing well!
Considering it was the 80s, there’s no telling…
Sorry Eric. There’s no way your Suzie is even comparable to the Beatles. Wow.
I was never a fan of the Beatles. Which pretty much guarantees that every cover of their songs I’ll like better.
I always liked the cover – and it’s hard to cover the Beatles, and it can be done (Shawn Colvin’s “I’ll Be Back”. And I like ya Erik, but not sure Siouxsie is a better version.
Siouxsie’s version has such an odd, ethereal sound to it compared to the Beatles. But that’s probably why I like it more. I tend to be drawn to that type of sound.
Siouxsie’s version rocks! Everything that Siouxsie did rocked! Well… until about the mid 90’s when the music began to suck. I like the Beatles (at least the later stuff) but I prefer Siouxsie’s version.
Prudence is my middle name.
