This made me happy. I don’t care that I don’t like the original song, it did anyway.

It was never off the radio. It was played in every bar all the time It’s horrible. But Dexy’s aren’t all bad:
Check out There, There, My Dear.

This version could have used more gain on the lead vocals - lyrics seemed reasonably witty but I couldn’t make them all out…

Yes they have some technical shortcomings from inexperience I assume, while the lyrics are witty. I guess they are far too young and clever.
