ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK
performed on:
Plaastik wanted to do a cover for the EP that would piss off rock purists. In the running: "Sweet Home Alabama," "Foxy Lady," "Whole Lotta Love," and "Another Brick in the Wall." In the end, they ended up going against their own instincts and adding funky bass, jungle rhythms and house beats to this Bill Haley classic. Jeff Jooce sings lead, sort of; he spouts off the words in a bored monotone and is eventually replaced by a robot voice. As if to compensate for this, the band covered the song more straightforwardly and with blissful feedback on the tour to follow.
