Cover Versions of Femme Fatale # 4 Duran Duran

 


There are very few artists who have such a witless cack handed, never mind downright disrespectful way with cover versions as Duran Duran. The Brummie Roxy. Have you heard their album of covers Thank You. Their take on 911 is a Joke in particular. The joke is on you boys. Your application to curate Rock & Rolls legacy is abrogated.

Considering their track record of pretty much unmitigated arse and elbow behaviour on this front, their take on Femme Fatale is relatively uneventful. It's pretty faithful in many respects. They follow the melody line and for a change carry their bats back to the pavilion at close of play, dignity remarkable intact. Wonders very occasionally crop up.
