Johnny Panic - Happy Together

Nothing divides the discerning music masses quite like a cover. Pull it off well and they'll fawn over your band like it's a doe-eyed pup. But savage a classic and the muso's wrath will hound a band like a plague of locusts. So, what in God's name were Johnny Panic thinking? As if brutally murdering The Turtles's Happy Together wasn't enough, someone thought it prudent to flaunt this torturous tripe as a one-off single. Childish and nasal, it whines like a spoiled brat that wants to play with someone else's toys. And like most annoying kids, this shouldn't be seen or heard. [Billy Hamilton]
