Cry





It takes some audacity to cover a classic and make it work. Often it just ends in tears and disappontment that someone has gone and butchered a favourite tune of yours or a favourite artist of yours has made you ashamed to have them in your collection. But U.S. collective 'Gayngs' have not only reworked Godley & Creme's seminal 80s track 'Cry' into a stunning and refreshing modern version, they have even copied the bloody video. The contrast in haircuts is downright hilarious. In 25 years I propose a band does this again to show how stupid we look today, even though we just can't see it. Enjoy the tracks below.
