Jack White from The White Stripes does the *female* vocal.

I have finally realised what this song reminds me of (apart from Falco): She's The Boss! The guy's delivery (when he's not pretending to be an 80s Austrian) is vintage Jagger, I reckon.
They're playing this town tonight. I might have to see if there are any tickets left.

I'm 90% sure this is a cover version, or there is another version of the song around, but cant prove it... does any one else know anything about another version? (and not some crappy bootleg mp3!)
btw, a top song. |

The band were originally called The Wildbunch, and recorded a version of the song then. It appeared on the 2 Many DJs album by the Dewaele brothers (Soulwax) in 2001, I think.
So it's all thanks to Belgium. ![]() I saw the video first and didn't much like it. TOTP changed my mind. Without the Belouis Some shock video vibe, I could appreciate how great the track is. I love the way he pronounces "voltage" - these guys are from Detroit! But check out She's The Boss - it's a very similar vibe. |

Quick gig review
Just saw these guys in downtown Brussels. Great gig. Stand-out tracks were Gay Bar ("I wanna take you to a gay bar"), She's White, and Improper Dancing, which could well repeat D!HV's success: "Everybody's doing it in the street: Improper dancing! Improper dancing!" Insanely catchy all the way through. Very rocky set, covers of Radio Ga Ga and Planet P's Why Me ripping the originals up. D!HV was halfway through the set, dedicated to the memory of Maurice Gibb, and performed straight, no Austrian-ness to it at all, no raised eyebrows even, just a faint tortured smile that said Christ, we're in the top ten in Britain and I'm singing to half a dozen whey-faced Belgian teenagers. The John Waters moustache was absent and campness toned right down - he looked more like Robert Sean Leonard than Django Reinhardt. When he's not screaming over the feedback, the guy has a very good voice, quite deep and soulful: They reminded me quite a bit of Afghan Whigs (they were all wearing suits, too, until the singer stripped down to a Choose Life T-shirt and did some press-ups). Raw, tight sound, catchy songs, sense of humour. Could be ones to watch in 2003.
