The Softies: "Hey, Hey Girl" (Rocketship Cover)

Today is my birthday! I am now 22 years old! Since it's my birthday and not yours and you might feel left out, I decided I would give you guy's a birthday present.

So, I figure, what better a present a than The Softies covering Rocketship's classic "Hey, Hey Girl"? It took me forever to finally track this down, but I finally got my hands on it a few days ago! It comes from Vol. 2 of a series of compilation 7"s put out by Red Square Records in 2001, called The Way Things Change. It's awesome and I love it, I hope you like it, too! Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

It's quite embarrassing to think "Wow, did The Softies cover one of my favourite Rocketship-songs", only to discover that I should have the 7" somewhere, stored in a box.

Have a great birthday.

Funnily enough I'm almost twice your age (can't even remember what it felt like being 22 - then again people say I should act a bit more grown up so ...).

By the way, I still can't thank you enough for helping me discover my favorite new band of the year, the Bridal Shop.

So you see, the old ones can learn a lot from the young ones.

some of my favorite comps would have to be... the corrupt postman tape, something's burning in paradise, take the subway to your suburb (put out by the subway organisation), why popstars cant dance (slumberland), going against maz's advice, and a great tape comp called pop machine (which included the best song belmondo ever did)..
