Being one hell of a cool friend, Paul the ex-Go Go Box Whore sent me some more Carter USM cover tunes after yesterday's post.

Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine "Trouble"
(Song Removed)

This comes to you from the first single for "The Young Offender's Mum." Check around on Carter's site for updates because it appears that they put up merch on Ebay pretty regularly.

Paul said he sent this to me because he remembered how much I loved the original.

Shampoo "Trouble"
(Song Removed)

This is taken from my copy of Shampoo's 1994 CD EP Delicious. While this song was played quite frequently on Rodney on the Roq, it did not become a huge hit. Hence, I was able to find this import in the used bins at Record Trader a year or two after its release for 99 cents.

"Trouble" is right up there with Supergrass' "Caught by the Fuzz" as a top-notch ode to teenage fun and inevitable groundings. Back in the early days of Bang!, Joseph would play "Trouble" every now and again and I would go crazy on the dancefloor. Most times, the song would propel me straight to the top of the go-go box where I would dance with the GGBW and/or my friend Avery.

You can find Shampoo goodies on Amazon (mostly used).
