Harley (5)

With a kind nod to Christine over @ Spikedcandy, here's two more Harley Davidson-covers. First up is the energetic version by British band Baby Birkin. Dunno if the band still exists, they're famous for their Gainsbourg and Birkin-covers and the fact that their producer was Russell Senior, he of Pulp-fame.
Then, from Spain, Les Très Bien Ensemble. Their version is also live, jus'like the one by Belle & Sebastian. It's an okay take on the song, nothing really special. But if you want the whole bunch (and you know you want to), then you have to hear it. The only version still missing Thanks to Ihateasparagus, here's the version by Monochrome Orchestra, taken from this compilation. And that one concludes the search for Harley-coverversions. Unless, ofcourse, I run into a really brilliant version.

  1. Hehe, if you find any more you'll end up in Gainsbourg Covers Overdose section of loony bin with me. You'll be in one corner singing "Je n'ai besoin de personne...", I'll be in the other singing "Je ne suis une poupee..." :D

  2. what on earth happened to my grammar there? I meant 'the...section' and 'the loony bin' and 'je suis une'.
