Screaming Blue Messiahs did it with much more gusto!(And I don't mean this particular tune).

New Order to the Go-Gos to Peter Case? Is Bill listening to my college mix-tapes while driving with me in my '73 Olds Delta 88 circa 1986?

The tribute album to Peter Case is real interesting. A Case for Case. Dude is a great songwriter.

Me too. Same rhythm and vocal style as "I'm Alright." Given the choice here, I'll go with the dancing gopher.

Peter Case is way underrated! Check out Flying Saucer Blues---lyrics, rhythm and rhyme--it doesn't get much better....

Check him out live and I think your opinion will changed. There's a rumour the remaining members of the Plimsouls are going to hit the road soon.

I must have this CD!!! I've always been a huge Peter Case fan (ever since the Plimsols), and he only gets better and better! :D/
