I ended up at Fubar fairly early last night, just so I wouldn't have to lug my records across the street from the valet parking lot at 7969, and ended up hanging around listening to the choice selection of 80s tunes playing over the soundystem. At one point, I nearly lost it on account of this song.



This was from Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad's (of ABBA) fourth album, Something's Going On, which was released in 1982. It was produced by Phil Collins in the midst of that all-too-brief period when he didn't totally suck in the worst MOR way possible and this track "I Know There's Something Going On" has that same odd echo in the production as "In the Air Tonight." When I heard this last night, I started thinking about what might happen if someone covered it. I think a cover would have to have a minimal techno bent, kind of cold and European sounding, and the singer would have to sound like she (or he) was trying to detach herself(or himself) from some serious pain. I think The Knife could pull it off, but am not sure if anyone else could.
