Sadly her webmaster can't comment further having been in a bar drinking Czech beer at the time. But Departure Lounge want to do it their own way. These guys are multi-instrumentalists, yet call for mixing assistance from Cocteau Twin Simon Raymonde and French DJ Kid Loco.
Experimentation is everything.
Tracy Ullman's 1983 version was humorous, but Departure Lounge's take is a bit depressing. Gunter Gabriel was a quite famous German country singer who had a bunch of big hits in the 70s. Today he lives in a caravan and earns his money playing his old songs on schlager-festivals. Try getting THAT outside Germany. The title song is not bad, and their rendition of Kirsty's first single is ok.
