Song cover

May 4, 2007 6:41 AM

I was at work the other day and I saw a promo on Turner Classic Movies. I really liked the music they used. I think it was a cover of a song called "Dance with me" by Lords of the New Church. Anyone else seen this or heard a good cover of it?

If I had to guess I would have said it was by Cocorosie.

Best answer: If you're thinking it's by Cocorosie, it's probably the version by the Nouvelle Vague.

Yes, almost certainly by Nouvelle Vague, whose work is generally amazing.

Thanks, lhall. I'm familiar with many of these, but what I really like (and I should have been clearer, I know), is the strange take on the New Wave music of my youth. I particularly like the jazzy bossa nova feel.
