Who did it better?

Roland Gift, the FYC singer, had quite a unique voice that both my wife and I liked a lot.

I would say both of them are differant enough to hold up so I cannot really say one is better than the other. If I was looking for 70's punk, the Buzzcocks would definitely be on that list. If I was looking for 80's new wave the Cannibals would be on that list.

Pretty much how I feel about it but the Buzzcocks was the better known version and was huge at the time and always gets me going. I was into these bands back in the day, Magazine, Killing Joke etc. FYC version was for a movie I believe but as you say, Roland Gift’s voice is so distinct and unique he does a fantastic job and puts his stamp on an iconic song.

Prince (RIP) and The Revolution v Tom Jones and Art of Noise





I like both versions except when Prince goes screeching the lyrics at times. Tom's voice is very good but the video is pretty naff.

Prince for the win!

The best part of the Prince videos for me was Wendy Melvoin's facial expressions.
