Thanks </ @ricercare \> -- I knew the Blondie version first, and when I came upon the original, I could no longer enjoy the version by Blondie as much.
Just heard the Blondie v. and completely agree with your preference. That bracketing resembles a furry anime critter with its ears to its sides-- see it?
That's the great thing about TIMJ, I just googled the song and found it was written by Jack Lee in 1973. The Nerves released it in 76. You learn something new every day.

And I used to love the Blondie version too (now it's unlistenable). It's a space creature o( @ricercare )o

I was about to type: Oh, then it will surely rip us to shreds; and then thought: Ugh, more morbidity.
