Hehe. Although part of me assumes EB's thinking "Hey if you're going to do a cover at least make it different" and there's nowt more different than a twee female doing a version of a song normally performed by a hairy arsed stadium rocker, the other part thinks it's just EB's soppy camp side coming out.
Interesting thread though cos I wrote off Bruce for years and it's only recently that I have started to think I was wrong and others might have been right - his songs actually were good even if his image wasn't particularly. Anyway I do still have 3 tracks off that comp on my iTouch. As well as the Allo Darlin track I have The River by Airport Girl and Born to Run by Lucinda Black Bear.
However my fave Springsteen cover is not even on that comp. Thunder Road by Kev Rowland.
