Is it just the old video of that lady or did she record something new for this?

Yeah I'm curious to know exactly how much involvement she had in this. Did she sing and/or play guitar on it, or did she just shoot her part of the video and send it to Billie to put over top the cover he did entirely by himself?

I don't know that I hear a woman's voice in the backing. Maybe he just asked her to film herself "rocking out" in her home to the song for the video?

Billie really makes the best covers with his unique style and the help of his cute accompanist :wub: I loved that the original artist feautered in and it's a 80s song!

Small thing but I appreciate that Billie didn’t switch the gender of the song as so many less secure artists do when they cover songs of other people. I love that he doesn’t give a shit 🏳️‍🌈

Excellent point. I didn't even notice he left the words as written. I just sang along as I normally would.

It’s new. Shot from her home.

No it just says video appearance by so she didn’t sing on it just did the video bit. So cool that she gave it her stamp of approval though. I love The Bangles. This is the perfect cover. And yay for Lenny getting to be in it 😂 That pup is gonna be famous.

Not sure, sometimes I think yes but then I think no.  It does “featuring” and “with the help of” so I think I am hearing her, particularly the but with airoplane.

I’m going by what’s on YouTube.

Prince wrote it but it was performed by women. I just think it’s cool

It’s cool but Prince even when he demo’d it was sung that way as he wrote it for the woman group Apollonia 6 he was producing hopefully no one covered it and changed the gender

 

i love the video as he’s using a Jaguar never thought I’d see Billie ever playing one

Yeah definitely Billie

And they finally got the memo about using the text feature more. Just got a Green Day text with a link to the video.

I've never seen that as a sign of insecurity. Rather just them putting themselves into the lyrics to relate to it.
