My compadre from the Old Country, Loose Handlebars, just posted an awesome cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Stupid Girl” sung by Ellen Foley at the link above (“Judge a Song By Its Cover”). For those who don’t know Ms. Foley, she was the female vocalist of Meat Loaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light,” sang backup for several artists (from Ian Hunter to the Clash), was a regular on the quintessential 1980s TV show “Night Court,” had a supporting role in 1987’s “Fatal Attraction,” and was the subject of the Clash’s 1982 classic “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” (she was dating the Clash’s Mick Jones at the time).
And while you’re at it, check out Mr. Handlebar’s other terrific posts about music, film, and other fine pop cultural artifacts:
