    Yeah, it was a great tune but for some reason it stalled on the charts. It's off the "Give Us A Wink" album.

    I voted for Joan, as the original's kinda weak (though Hello were great otherwise)

    I have to agree Joan's version was a big improvement on Arrow's. Another one I like (but ran out of room): Def Leppard's take on "The Golden Age of Rock and Roll."

    No worries. For some reason I get the Arrows and Hello confused at times too.

    I am probably going to be fucking murdered for even saying this on this forum but go ahead and try. People have tried before... Lost a eye or testicle in the process depending upon the gender of the person. Anyways here is my favorite glam cover, off the Wayne's World Soundtrack "Ballroom Blitz" by Tia Carrere. She just rocks the fuck out of that song, the close second it Krokus' version but nobody can come even close to the Sweet original. I remember being mesmerized by Tia when I watched Wayne's World in theatres, I had to have the Soundtrack which is totally bad ass. Check out the song list for yourself sometime. Without further ado her is the vid, kind of chessey I know but I had posters of Tia on my wall! Enjoy!
