I was getting fully prepared to dislike the Scissor Sisters' cover of "Do the Strand", from the latest War Child compilation: while I loved Scissor Sisters' first album, I was somewhat disappointed by their second.
But then, two things happened: one, I remembered how pleased I was hearing Scissor Sisters' cover of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" a number of years ago, and that what pleased me most, at first, was thinking of apoplectic Pink Floyd fans hearing the song for the first time, and ranting and raving about the song being absolutely destroyed for them; and, two, that when I actually listened to it, Scissor Sisters' take on "Do the Strand" sounded exactly like you'd imagine a SS take on "Do the Strand" to sound like, and that that was really quite okay, and if I'm being honest, very enjoyable.
