From 1989, please enjoy The Lemonheads (featuring Evan Dando) and an utterly fabulous guitar-driven punk remake of Suzanne Vega's breakthrough hit "Luka."
I want to make it clear here that I think the Suzanne Vega original of this is as perfect a pop record as has ever been made. An absolute classic that's moving on every level.
That said, from the minute I first heard it, I always wanted somebody to do a loud snot-nosed version that sounded like the above.
And I can't believe I didn't know about this one till last week.

The original is a classic. This version is noisily different. I met Suzanne a couple of times way back, nice person.
