I'm about to call it a night. Or a day. Or a sleep.
Just saw a post that reminded me of this particular song. Apparently, there was some kind of weird... I want to say "fetish"... but that's not quite the word. People in England in the 1960s staged motor vehicle accidents and victims, etc... and then took pictures of the staged... accidents.
I've literally seen movies produced by this "car crash set" - firsthand - and I still can't explain the phenomenon.
Anyway.
I’m pretty sure #SuziQuatro ‘s version of #WarmLeatherette is the closest to #jgballard ‘s original vision. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=do-aFMySFos #industrialmusic

The prompt is “Sex”
#Pretenders “Private Life” from their eponymous debut, 1979
Lyric:
“Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death
You've made a desperate appeal, now save your breath
Attachment to obligation through guilt and regret
Shit that's so wet
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations”
This is arguably the slinkiest song ever to be coaxed along a #reggae beat, owing in large part to #ChrissieHynde's haughty yet sultry vocals on the Pretenders’ groundbreaking debut album.
#GraceJones' trademark deadpan delivery over the killer track laid down by the tight Compass Point Studio house band is more dismissive, yet no less stunning, in her cover on her iconic album #WarmLeatherette. These are both women who have no time for your nonsense; your sex life complications are indeed not their fascinations.
Which version is better? ...Can perfection happen twice?
