I like their cover of "Heroes". Oh wait, that's not a cover? LCD Soundsystem - All I Want

In that case, "Panic in Detroit" is a 'cover' of every other Bo Diddley song ever.

That FOTC thing is a very funny parody of early PSB lyrics and videos.  What would make it brilliant would be if there were some rapturously beautiful passage in the chorus or something--something that met the Pet Shoppers on their musical ground.

I think I actually laughed out loud when the guitar first kicked in on 'All I Want'. I really like LCD soundsystem, but they do sometimes push their homages to ridiculous levels.Even their best song, 'All my Friends' is more or less all of New Order's Power Corruption and Lies crammed into 5 minutes.

I don't remember Bo Diddley singing like a little girl who just had her lollipop taken away.

Bo wasn't into lollipops.

Chuck Berry was into the other thing I mentioned.

Not nearly enough Pet Shop Boys talk in thread supposedly devoted to talking about them.
