    I love the Pet Shop Boys' original. But I like them a lot.
    :)

    I like your choice, too, though.

  • The fact that a lot of PSB fans cringe at that cover is part of it's charm for me to be honest.

    Though I like the original, I've always preferred Grand Funk Railroad's version of "The Locomotion."

    :)

    My brain is so fried right now that I can't recall who did the original! But I know there have been a lot of covers to this song!
    :)
    But none of them have the hard rock of Railroad's version. I love it! Glad you liked it, too!
    :)
