When I first saw that “I Love Rock ‘N Roll” was released as the world was shin deep in the Eighties, I was kinda taken aback. Then I looked and found out it is a cover! Even further aback! Very aback! In fact, so is “Mickey” and “Iko Iko”. In the mix, we also have Trio’s delightfully odd and minimalistic hit “Da Da Da”, The Pinkees with the power pop of “Danger Games” and Classix Nouveaux only top 40 “Is It A Dream”.
