Lucky Number came out the same year as Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights. Two great female artists, quite rare in those days. Loved seeing both on Top of the Pops.
I adore Lene! Her live shows are the stuff of legend! Every time she performed in Austin, I was there! Even got to meet her! She is an amazing person, with a remarkable talent!
Best version of the song ever put to vinyl (and the vinyl includes the Japanese version which is exquisite!) Luv ya forever Ms Lovitch. You ARE my latter days of the 70's, when I got dragged, kicking and screaming into adulthood. And remember kids, "If it ain't Stiff, it ain't worth a..."
Niether did the original, but the Lene / Tiffany covers were a definite line between fans in the 80s. Those who liked the Tiffany crowd wore neon and shopped at malls. The Lene fans were the goths, nerds, punks, and outsiders of the day…. I won’t say we were cooler, but our music was way better.
I think the lena fans and Tiffany fans were a half generation apart too. One is the gen X of the new romantics and Goths, the other is the gen X of Kylie Minogue and "vogue" stage Madonna
If you like this type of late 70s / early 80s music, you really should watch out for Diane Dusfrene, a super eccentric French Canadian singer that do this type of theatrical show since the mid 70s.

Actually Kate released her debut album several months before Lene's and was much more popular. Lene's singing style was very unique but you can clearly hear she was influenced by Bryan Ferry from Roxy Music.
I thought she was so unique back when I first saw her as a teen...now I see her I am reminded of Siouzi and the Banshees but prefer Lene's playfulness.
Lene did it the BEST!! I have always been a fan and I HATE the cutsie rendition that everyone else listens to and praises. Must be because they had good PR. (Tiffany?)
She was always too nuts for me. Kate Bush was as nutty as I could tolerate. Loved Kate Bush. But I did like a few of Lena Lovich’s songs. Lucky Number was her best.
Its amazing how it can be done with nuance, style and talent. unlike modern day pop stars that have to literally tell you explicitly in their lyrics and wearing next to nothing just to give a similar impression. Oh how far we have fallen from grace and talent in 2023.

In 1982 when i was 17, bought her 1st album. Jerry Farewell called her a Slavic witch, i knew i was always going to love her music
Great Comment!!
Jerry Falwell is dead now. Thank God.
(See what I did there?)
Slavic? She's American-British. So much for Jerry Falwell knowing basic things like facts, lol
@snoqueen313 her full name is Lili-Marlene Premilovich - her father was of Serbian descent so she is partially Slavic.
I saw her in concert late 70’s
Lene reminds me of silent screen star Theda Bara.. her facial expressions are so like the silent stars if 1920’s..she’s really great!
You name it - I searched for the Name.
She is like from the roaring Twenties.
Hollywood Babylon.
Nailed it!!

Kate Bush was 'discovered' by David Gilmour, who used to visit her house as a family friend.
So bloody brilliant. Crazy, arty, danceable, comical, what an incredible drum-track. All of it, I love.
I adore Lene! Her live shows are the stuff of legend! Every time she performed in Austin, I was there! Even got to meet her! She is an amazing person, with a remarkable talent!
saw Lene in Guildford on Friday night, she was on top form and a joy to see her live at long last
I've never even heard this version! Wow. Thanks UA-cam algorithm.
Same here
She is so original and unique. I love her.
She owes a lot to Nina Hagen and vice versa. I love them both. 💜💜💜
@@michelehenne2477You beat me to it.

And remember kids, "If it ain't Stiff, it ain't worth a..."
She had a priceless Aura and this slavic, carpathian fashionlook was unique. I had the LP back then and heard it quite often.
She has an awesome & unique stage presence.
I love the step change at 4:00, Lucky Number just seems to arrive from another space and time. Genius.
She's fantastic...love her style
Love ya ❤❤❤❤
such a great artistic - where are you now - we need you back!
She was so underated❤❤
Wow great look. Ive never heard this version before, thanks.
The new box set of all her albums on Stiff Records is great. Lots of bonus tracks and the whole thing is re-mastered with great sound quality.
The second some is such a vibe. Its so good that I can almost taste it 😅
There's something in the air besides the atmosphere ❤!
Thanks for posting this!!!
Pure genius!
Vaya eso sí era talento, cosa de lo que hoy carecemos en la Música
Tiffany made mint out of this.Never ever knew Lena Lovich did the original/
This is the original version:

Simply gorgeous music ❤🎶
what a unique voice
Fantastic
Wish the audio was live on this one.
Excelente Lene !👏👏👏👏👏
very cool
Que linda.
WoW Lene is absolutely impressive , 😍
The first record i bought.
Way ahead of her time. She wore masks before Covid lol :) Love her!
Never knew Lene did this song....
They also did a japanese version
Lene Lovich and Les Chappell, the guitarist playing the Telecaster, wrote these songs...
@@jabbalechat7910 "I Think We're Alone Now" was written by Tommy James of The Shondells fame. Lene does an even better cover than Tiffany!!!!
@@burkeshaw Thanks for the correction, though checking it seems the song was actually written by the producer Richie Cordell...
@@jabbalechat7910 Fair enough! I just remember Tommy doing it first and quietly assumed.... I think we both agree, LENA!!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I love this song
Love it😎
¡¡¡¡Disfrutando a tope con Esta Genia!!!! ¡Adelantada a su tiempo, Mágicka!🩰🩰🩰🩰
Beautiful, unique and underrated
The original goth 🖤
Fuck yes!
Wait, wait, wait, wait... I thought Nico was... Or Lydia, along with Lene and Siouxsie.
Got the Sanford and Son on the keyboard early there. Different, but like it
LOVE-ITC...!!
Love you Lene!
So many forgot about this one
If we found ourself alone with Lena would have a heart attack and die never having a chance to tell her how much we appreciate her talent
This was one of my very early 7" singles bought. Still love Lucky Number.
❤superb ❤️

anche lei, bravissima, me la ricordo benissimo a St. Vincent
wow....
Good cover
Had a mad crush on her. Still do
Lucky Number has a real Missing Persons Dale Bozzio vibe to it.
You can tell she's from Hull.
proto-Princess Amidala
1979…. That explains a lot
For those who want yo just watch her performance, start at 1.14 mins...
WTF was that Tiffany thinking trying to do this song justice after Lene nailed it😢😢❤❤
She was as expressive in her songs as The next gal.on the block Kate Bush
They were both very unique but in different fields. And they are both in my music collection.
Actually Kate released her debut album several months before Lene's and was much more popular.
Lene's singing style was very unique but you can clearly hear she was influenced by Bryan Ferry from Roxy Music.
@@theselector4733yes, you can hear hear it for sure!
All these people dissing Tiffany, like you’re trying to seem cool- I love both versions, don’t have to hate one to like the other!
Big crush!
Like a Slavic Cyndi Lauper :-)
None of the current artists (Florence, Ga Ga etc.) reference her, despite the obvious influence.
A very pretty lady......some blokes "lucky number"
I have this album, before Lady Gaga there was Leyna!
2024.12.17 ❤
I thought she was so unique back when I first saw her as a teen...now I see her I am reminded of Siouzi and the Banshees but prefer Lene's playfulness.
Sydney Rock band Ratcat do a brilliant version of " I think we're alone now"
Another You Tube surprise tune.
A bit different to Tiffany's version.
Lene did it the BEST!! I have always been a fan and I HATE the cutsie rendition that everyone else listens to and praises. Must be because they had good PR. (Tiffany?)
She looks like the Russian starlet Olga Baclanova here! ❤️
She was always too nuts for me. Kate Bush was as nutty as I could tolerate. Loved Kate Bush. But I did like a few of Lena Lovich’s songs. Lucky Number was her best.
hmmm i heard this so many times who wrote it
She did.
So that's where Final Fantasy got inspiration from.
Is that Wilco Johnson as well
The best cover of this tune by 50 miles
better than the original too - she gets the meaning of the lyrics
❤
🖤
Marcia Joue quelque chose de simple
J rolled: let’s see what will be fun...ah , here we are.
"Laina lubich" Belcebú de mi vida, pero si no es difícil pronunciar Léina Lóvich España!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤💣👍💥
Quien canta la original ella o tiffany
Ella!!!
Zu der Zeit war jede promoaufführung playback
I thought the first song was by tiffany 😳
Surprise!! ua-cam.com/video/hFWhTqLSVzE/v-deo.html
A cross between Nina Hagen and Sousie Soux.
Laina? omg it's simple. Lene.
🤣🤣🤣Pensé lo mismo Laina????? Es simplemente Lene... Diminutivo de Marlene.
Se pronuncia Léine porque es la versión alemana de Marlene. Pero sí.
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤💗😾
There's something sexually satisfying about when she's singing.🥰
It's called she's hot and she got a beautiful voice
She is intoxicatingly hot
Its amazing how it can be done with nuance, style and talent. unlike modern day pop stars that have to literally tell you explicitly in their lyrics and wearing next to nothing just to give a similar impression. Oh how far we have fallen from grace and talent in 2023.
Not many mimicked Kate Bush because she was so unique so fair play.
She reminds me a bit of Martha Davis of the Motels.
Also she is very good at lip synching.
Estilo Glam 😊
She looks like a female version of Adam Ant. I don’t know, maybe it was intentional.
I didn't realize Tiffany was once this edgy.
That's Not Tiff.
And not tiffanys song
@@chuckiegoria2943 You're way off base. Lene Lovich was a "Chris-Gaines" style alter-ego of Tiffany. You can google it!
@@ThereIsNoLord what the hell you talking about
@@chuckiegoria2943 Garth Brooks is resurrecting his rock 'n' roll secret identity, the Country Hall of Fame member has said, bringing the infamous Chris Gaines back to life.
I'm only here to find something reasonably nurmal.
I love her weirdness
Sabéis que la contrataban en películas de terror, para que hiciese los gritos....Pues SI
even more scary than kate bush
Love her to death but its painfully obvious she is lip syncing
Of course
At this time singers weren't allowed to sing live in shows
