This cover starts off promising enough: it's a bit of a mashup with Rick Derringer's "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" in the beginning, then straightens into a more direct cover which wouldn't be so bad except the tempo is too slow. When we get to the extended outro vocals (Johnny "Guitar" Wilson on the original, Adrian Belew in the Baby Snakes video and various 1977 live editions) we get a female lead that sounds about as flat and uninterested as she could be. This cover is a promising idea that unfortunately does not work.
