How good is tATu? Seriously. Completely overlooked as a flash in the pan, these girls have had remarkable staying power. Next time you hear 'All the Things She Said' at a club, watch the reaction of the crowd. Complete pandemonium. Take away all the superfluous plotting and positioning with the whole faux-gay thing and you're left with at least a couple (Not Gonna Get Us was always my fav) killer songs. There are no two ways about it.
Anyway, inspired by a comment on Stereogum, I tracked down the "spectacular" tATu cover of The Smith's "How Soon is Now?". With the exception of Paul Simon, there are few artists tougher to cover than Morrissey. tATu does well, however. Have a listen.

You know, as embararassing as it is to admit to people I actually know, I really do enjoy t.A.tU.
