Didn't even know this cover existed until a few minutes ago!

Wow...that was surprisingly good. What an unexpected surprise that was, coming from a group called Primal Scream.  Grin Thanks for pointing this out.  Cool

This cover sucks.  It's unfortunate that Dennis' name was credited.  The original sung by Blondie dusts this piece of crap.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

What didn't you like about it, just out of curiosity? It got a little weird near the end, but I think Dennis would have approved.

I don't think Dennis would have approved. Primal scream butchered it and it's a disgrace to the name of Dennis Wilson.

You wanna hear a real good cover of "Carry Me Home"?  Search down a CD called "Long Promised Road" by the Adam Marsland Band. They do a live version of it. Now THAT one Dennis would be proud of.

My feelings entirely. I think it's done sincerely. It comes from a great little EP called Dixie Narco. Don't know about later PS stuff but DN and Screamadelica are essential listens in my opinion.

While it may not be to everyone's tastes, I find it to be a sincere cover as well. It's certainly unexpected and retains the mournful quality of the original recording with its own twists (of course, Adam Marsland's cover is quite good as well).

I always respect Mikie's opinion (a good philosophy!), but I have to say I enjoyed this track.  It definitely takes me back to moody indie music of the time period.  That said -- I've never heard the original and probably my view of this would have been colored if I had.
