Song 'O' The Day

It's My Life
by Talk Talk

I heard this on the radio on my road trip to El Paso and thought "Hey...I like this song.  I should look it up."  Then I realized I heard it before but I couldn't remember where.  After listening to it for a couple minutes, it hit me -- No Doubt covered it a few years ago.  Being a complete dunce, I had no idea it was a cover.  I love the No Doubt version but you can't escape the 80s awesomeness of the Talk Talk original.  At least, not in my opinion.  The music video is nothing special -- not a cinematic story like No Doubt conceived -- just a series of pretty landscape/nature shots.  Welcome to the infancy of MTV.
