Blimey, that was really, really bad, Let's try their 70s take on it,

I think I've just worked out why I'd never heard of Petra until I checked out who'd covered that song.

yes

Maybe it's because Alice Cooper was in Wayne's World, and Bill and Ted Bogus Journey ended on God Gave Rock and Roll to You?

I'm still convinced I've heard Alice Cooper doing it, even though he hasn't. I can only put it down as proof positive that the Mandela Effect is real.

Listening to it, it is a fairly obvious rip-off of All the Young Dudes, isn't it?

And All the Young Dudes was a fairly obvious rip-off of Carry that Weight.

I have never heard the original version of I Think We're Alone Now by Tommy James and the Shondells.

What, exactly, is a Shondell? Sly

Tommy James and the Shondells had two US Number One hits. gasp

That wasn't one of them.

One of them was called Hanky Panky. Kenneth

I am going to have to listen to that.

I never heard that also.

Denny Laine's original version of Say You Don't Mind, what Colin Blunstone later had a hit with.

That is somewhat chaotic.

It does, however, become clear that the song's somewhat modelled on Got To Get You Into My Life.

I didn't realise that Touch Me (All Night Long) by Cathy Dennis was a cover version until last night when Trevor Nelson played the original Fonda Rae version on his Radio 2 show. Turns out it reached number 49 in the UK in 1984.
