Nouvelle Vague (Whoever she is) did a brilliant, soft lounge-type cover of this song, great stuff. Personally one of my favorites, and yes this song has a great bassline.
I like Nouvelle Vague, and their cover of "Guns of Brixton" is pretty good. But, what really, really, really bugs me is that the singer mispronounces "Black Maria." Simonon pronounces it (of course...) correctly, so that it sounds the same as Mariah Carey. In the NV version, the singer pronounces it like Maria Bello. Ugh. Just so wrong and ruins their rendition.
