Day 86 - Barbara Gaskin & Dave Stewart - It’s My Party

I thought that It’s My Party was a little younger then dating from 1963, but I guess I was more familiar with the 1981 cover version by Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin. Another thing I didn’t knew was that Dave Stewart is not the same as that guy with the same name who’s playing in the Eurythmics.

But man, what does this cover version sounds dated with all these synthesizers! It’s so eighties, check the videoclip, that I’m even surprised that Marilyn Manson hasn’t done a cover yet. And watch the Top of the Pops performance, with hilarious comment during the song, that one guy is only hitting some electronic pads, that ain’t drumming.
