I listen to this version of Swingin' Party every day. You can hear the desperation in his voice all thru the song. No more recent versions can hold a candle to this.
I absolutely love Lorde's cover of this song, and the original is good as well! Both have the same lyrics, and even though they have different and enjoyable feels, there's something linking them together in the emotions and I love it.
leafninja247 yeet Lorre is an arrogant pop idol. Replacements were raw wounded Genius, that never came close to hitting mainstream success. Please don’t compare.
Heard this song from Lorde and didn't know it was a cover, wow, this brings me back even though I wasn't around during this time. Reminds me of being younger and listening to my parent's music.
Yes, I have. Didn't expect anybody to bring it up here, lol. Anyways, Ocean Rain is a great album, but my favorite Echo & the Bunnymen album is probably Heaven Up Here.
Best albums of the 1980s: Sandinista, Remain in Light, Closer, Faith, Moving Pictures, Plastic Surgery Disasters, Murmur, Kill Em All, Zen Arcade, Meat is Murder, Master of Puppets, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, Disintegration, Paul's Boutique, the Queen is Dead, Pornography. Anyone else like this list?
The Damned's Strawberries, Fingerprintz Beat Noire, Roxy Music's Avalon, The Fixx's Driven Out, The Church's Starfish, The Waterboys' Fisherman's Blues, The Psychedelic Furs' Talk Talk Talk, Blue Peter's Radio Silence, Simple Minds' New Gold Dream(81 82 83 84), Ultravox's Lament, Echo & The Bunnymen's Up To Here, Aztec Camera's High Land, Hard Rain, Talk Talk's Colour Of Spring, Teenage Head's Frantic City, Peter Murphy's Love Hysteria, Strange Advance's The Distance Between... (some I added)
Will always be the most under-rated band ever. My have 'The Replacements Stink' lp, 'Don't Tell A Soul' lp and the cd with "Johnny's Gonna Die"----but need all their stuff.
The person who left the comment about the best bands pf the 80s you have gdeat taste. But u left out a couple husker dus- candy apple gray, and ministry- with sympathy, great list . we need more of this music today.
i wanted to tell her but i stuck to my lies i wanted to tell her till i looked in her eyes i wanted to tell her i needed to tell her. wow the memories. we are getting old Doug
I am looking forward to seeing the MATS in 3 days in Washington, DC....hopefully they play this classic and AlexChilton, Bastard of Young and Kiss me on the Bus and 16 Blue and Androgynous
Fuck, Westerberg can write a song. He was a songwriter who gave a shit in a band who initially barely gave enough of a shit to bash out a song. That was the magic when they were at the top of their game like here.
I listened to Kindness's version (paper towns) and Lorde's version. I agree with +TheFutureKing, Lorde's version is VERY bland, with no emotion. Now, I'm not a music critic or anything, but I would gladly get paid to NOT listen to her version. Anyway, I think this is a capital-V very great song.
I went to listen to the rest of the album and I wasn't really feeling it. . LOVE This Song Though! It just sounds like it belongs elsewhere . . It's so different from the rest
Gbjkak wow people really got agro over this huh. Don’t know if you still think this, but imo that’s a very surface level thought. Just because something is slow and sung somberly doesn’t mean it’s deeper. Sort of like how an edgier media isn’t deeper then a happy one. Its more about the nuance and the ideas it brings up. I personally like this version more because I like the music better, but also I enjoy the ... desperation/loneliness that it conveys.

I have been IN LOVE with this song for years, it just never gets old to me for some reason.
+Agnes Philomena yes, it is different indeed.(:
Same here, this band really had it down at that point.
I had no idea anyone covered it until I saw comments on the original.
I too love it. Simple song but means something to me...like life for me in the early eighties?
I listen to this version of Swingin' Party every day. You can hear the desperation in his voice all thru the song. No more recent versions can hold a candle to this.
I mean Lorde sounds tired and depressed too.
Exactly. Lorde sounds like she drank too much cough syrup
I absolutely love Lorde's cover of this song, and the original is good as well! Both have the same lyrics, and even though they have different and enjoyable feels, there's something linking them together in the emotions and I love it.

Lmaooo stfu
Seriously
If you liked this version and Lorde's
You will like the version of "Kindness"
-its one of the official soundtrack of the movie "Paper Towns"
Tim was/is a masterpiece.
Heard this song from Lorde and didn't know it was a cover, wow, this brings me back even though I wasn't around during this time. Reminds me of being younger and listening to my parent's music.
It’s like a cross between Harvest Moon and Something Stupid
I think it was inspired by flying on the ground is wrong, so makes sense
If bein alone is a crime I'm serving forever
Up there with "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
LordWellfleet that's pretty damn high in my books
I was listening with a friend and I was moving away from her. It was sadly beautiful
You said it for me. Exactly.
I find this song oddly moving.
Yes, I have. Didn't expect anybody to bring it up here, lol. Anyways, Ocean Rain is a great album, but my favorite Echo & the Bunnymen album is probably Heaven Up Here.

You ever hear Echo and The Bunnymen's album "Ocean Rain"?
Okay we get Lorde did a cover of this. You can stop commenting it now.
Will always be the most under-rated band ever. My have 'The Replacements Stink' lp, 'Don't Tell A Soul' lp and the cd with "Johnny's Gonna Die"----but need all their stuff.
This is a great song!
I just listened to Lorde's version after reading the comments. I like the fact that she chose this song to cover. Good try.
I like both versions. The thing is, I feel like Lorde WOULD write lyrics like this--only she'd mention orange sneakers or something ;)

rebjiii those are some of my favorite replacements songs! Great taste!
LIke the Mats this song never gets old.
Thanks!! :) Yeah, there were some omissions, but I wanted to keep it short, haha. What are your favorite albums of the 1980s?
Fuck, Westerberg can write a song. He was a songwriter who gave a shit in a band who initially barely gave enough of a shit to bash out a song. That was the magic when they were at the top of their game like here.
I always come back to this when i want to die
If being alone's a crime we hang side by side
lorde made a cover of this. it's awesome
The Song is Awesome. Not lords. Stop lol
cute litle thing
------------0:17
Towards the end of the song you hear him snort that swingin party line! Not that I condone that type of behavior. At least not now.
The Song is Awesome. Not lorde’s 😝
if bein' alone's a crime...(it's a song about loneliness and depression)
Whats with the comments of Lorde from “7 years ago” 😭
just heard Lorde's cover and remembered of this ahaha
Can you do a lyric video of Perfect by Simple Plan?
have you heard Lorde cover?
I listened to Kindness's version (paper towns) and Lorde's version. I agree with +TheFutureKing, Lorde's version is VERY bland, with no emotion. Now, I'm not a music critic or anything, but I would gladly get paid to NOT listen to her version. Anyway, I think this is a capital-V very great song.
Riley Pamplin That's how her music is but that's your opinion which i respect :)
lol
Lordes version fucking SUCKS, there is no pain, angst or emotion in her voice. It's just dry.
You could just shut up and kept your opinion to yourself.
+Marelian Magalonga Is the fucking truth fangirl.
TheFutureKing I mean...you're wrong, probably par for the course for you though.
lies tbh
I went to listen to the rest of the album and I wasn't really feeling it. . LOVE This Song Though! It just sounds like it belongs elsewhere . . It's so different from the rest
Tamed Creme They have other songs more similar to this one on other albums though
LORDE.
lorde's cover is awful please stop talking about her
I like Lorde's cover more because it feels deeper
Neil Keshvala purely insane statement.
+Neil Keshvala >implying Lorde's cover feels deeper
fuk u neil
Well She didn’t write it buddy lol
