The Tourists - “I Only Want to Be With You” (1979)
Outstanding new wave cover of the Dusty Springfield classic.
Also? The cute girl and the skinny guy with the ‘stache? Yep. That’s them, 3 or 4 years before their big breakout hit.
Weird that The Tourists aren’t better known amongst us power-pop nerds, because they’re actually pretty awesome (if more than a little derivative of Blondie in spots).
Still. Annie Lennox? Man. I want her to do shocking things to me while wearing cool headgear. Fucking love this song:
