neat, a fine Bert tune

Here's a peculiar cover of James Brown - Sex Machine, by Flying Lizards. It's like a proto-techno thing going on there. They had a hit with a cover of Money, also peculiar.

This sounds like a real live recording rather than a lip sync on a pop show, The Clones cover The Who - Substitute
