I’m ashamed to admit that I didn’t know that No Doubt’s 2003 hit It’s My Life is actually a cover of Talk Talk’s 1984 track by the same name. I’ll hand my 80s card back in now...

No Doubt seems to have done a pretty faithful rendition though. I dare say I’d nominate it for one of Dusty’s contests.

Talk Talk did it better IMO.

Wow, me either! TIL, indeed. Also, I still can't see "TIL" without thinking "Truth In Lending" (because I've worked in banking for 15 years and had compliance training shoved down my throat). I don't think I can ever unlearn that. If I do, I'll post a "TIU" for "Today I Unlearned."

They both sound great, but only one has Gwen...

Wildlife in Africa crosscut with random creepy euro fashion images.

Dats 80s for you.

guess that depends on your age, i was born in 79, so i do remember the original.

I was born 8 days after the single was released so I’d never heard the original before.

Banker here. I see TIL as the same thing. Drives me nuts!

Other ones that have been ruined for me: BSA is no longer the Boy Scouts of America. FL is Fair Lending, not Florida. I used to laugh about saying FIRREA out loud. Now it's just a PITA.

I just finished my compliance classes the other day. After 15 years I could take the classes with my eyes closed. But Reg B gets me every time!

I was born in 1983, so I’m only one year older than you are. I’ve heard the original lots of times before No Doubt released the cover.

Not sure how the original managed to elude me for 32 years.

that’s because there are lot’s of things from the 80s that we are trying to forget.

Not the music, though. Never the music.

Quite possible!

I miss that ‘80s sound. It’s funny, though, how obvious it is that nobody in the ‘80s had any idea what to do with music videos. It would be a while before they figured out the medium.
