I never knew they covered Feels Like Heaven from Fiction Factory?!
A great 80´s pop song.

The playlist name "Sleep Next to Plastic" persuaded me to click that link as it's a line from Camper Van Beethoven's hypercatchy song "Take the Skinheads Bowling" which I've loved since the 80s. Looking forward to checking out their cover version after work.There are some fantastic covers in that playlist, from pop (Fiction Factory, The Cure...) to punk (The Clash), from classic rock (Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones...) to politically charged indie (McCarthy), from post-punk (Echo & the Bunnymen) to hard rock (Alice Cooper, Guns N'Roses)...
