It's good and I think Eric would approve!
Bahamas is an amazing band. I have seen them 5 times in the last 5 years. Aifie is a great song writer, guitarist, singer and performer. More Bahamas on RP!
Thank you for the lyrics RP!
I heard 'she's probably into ET' which made me look. (Ahhh..."she's probably in Tahiti"!)

great choice of song to cover but I still prefer the original
I like this more each time I hear it..
bone-aching repetition...'I got a whole wide world' x 1000. Unbearable.

On hearing this cover again. I was thinking about the original single i have, and musing that it probably came as one of the 10 Single Stiff Box Set that i bought back in the late 70s.
I wasn't sure, so i looked it up, and sure enough, yes it did.
while i was at it i also discovered that Wreckless Eric is actually an Englishman. I always thought he was an Aussie. Funny 'ol game init?
First time i've ever heard anyone cover Wreckless Eric!
I have the original single, and i'm not offended by this cover.

Probably not a great sign when hearing a cover just makes you want to hear the original instead. Seems like Reckless Eric would be a great fit on RP, so how about playing the original instead?

terrible, terrible cover of a great little rough post-punk 70s nugget some of us remember fondly

he's gonna be disappointed if he goes the whole wide world and finds out she's not on a sunsoaked beach but in a muddy hut in eastern Siberia.
His mugshot looks as disinterested as the music. Not for me. Skip to Joe Strummer. Result.

A bit flat. Not much of the wrecklessness left

I know Wreckless Eric is difficult for some people to listen to but this is an overcorrection.

A bit drone-y for these ears. I guess unattachment is a style these days. No one believe in passion any longer?
I like the song and I like to be the first reviewer. October, 2 2021.
