Broc 3 - Cover Me Impressed
Everybody’s Dressin’ Funny … Cover Me Impressed!

While most would certainly associate this song with The Bangles, Prince actually wrote it and was the first to record it March 1983. However, Prince did not release his version until more than 10 years later. The Bangles, meanwhile, released their megahit in 1985.

Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. It is your solemn responsibility to decide which cover song prevails. In other words … Which Side Are You On!??!
