Cover: Grace Jones - "Private Life" (June 1980)
(reggae vibe - Sly & Robbie and Wally Badarou performing their tricks - Grace Jones deliberately quasi robotically cold performing)

Original: Pretenders - "Private Life" (January 1980)
(guitars - Chrissie Hynde sophisticatedly appalled)

Comment by Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders):
"Like all the other London punks, I wanted to do reggae, and I wrote "Private Life". When I first heard Grace's version I thought 'Now that's how it's supposed to sound!' In fact it was one of the high points of my career - what with Sly and Robbie being the masters, and Grace Jones with her scorching delivery. Someone told me it was Chris Blackwell's idea - thanks Chris!"

Plot: straight talk of a strong woman to a loser - savage lyrics:
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out [×4]
J'ai les glandes / j'en ai marre [I'm fed up] with your theatrics
Your acting's a drag
It's okay on TV 'cause you can turn it off
But don't try me
Yes, your marriage is a tragedy
But it's not my concern
I'm very superficial, I hate anything official
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out [×3]
You've been lying to someone and now me
Stop [×3]
Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death
You've made a desperate appeal, now save your breath
Attachment to obligation through guilt and regret
Shit that's so wet
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out [×3]
You've been lying to someone and now me
Stop [×3]
You asked me for advice, I said "Use the door!"
But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore
And now you want to use me for emotional blackmail
I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out [×3]
You've been lying to someone and now me
Stop [×3]
Oh, oh, how you mean

Alternate version is cool too.

I used to carpool with a guy who could sing any Stones riff on demand.

The music is still going strong from this Swedish band.

Different band, different song with the same title though. This is one of my favorite Incubus tunes.

[Esteban]

I've posted this before here but Artemis reminded me of Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders so I thought I'd post it again.

[Esteban]

Another by her...

Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville.

I was listening to, "We gotta get out of this place" in a bunker 53 years ago, if that counts.
