Exellent version of this!!

And "Stop The World" is pretty poppy too.
Here's some more:
HELIX - "Does A Fool Every Learn" written by 'Hit Me With Your Best's Eddie
Schwartz. And they also did a remake of the classic 1972 A Foot In Cold
Water ballad "(Make Me Do) Anything You Want".
LEE AARON - the self-proclaimed Metal Queen went all soft at the centre with
more pop fare like "Watcha Do To My Body" and "Human" in the late '80s.
VOIVOD - their rendition of "Astronome Domine" by Pink Floyd was quite
melodic.
EXODUS - put out a very commercially accessible album in 1992 called 'Force
Of Habit' with a horn-laded version of the Rolling Stones' "Bitch" and an
absolutely frenetic version of Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up".
speaking of remakes of new wave acts there's also
ANTHRAX doing Joe Jackson's "Got The Time".
