I like all the instruments but the vocal is horrible. Sounds like he's straining for a shit.

Tep bringing up ELO reminded me of how much I like the Beautiful South's cover of "Livin' Thing."

Should've done it in a Ska style and released it in a pastiche of the 2 tone sleeve. Then 101 would've been raving about it.
