Bad Ideas and Strange Bedfellows (Number One In A Series)

Well, this one caught my attention about three years late. But would you believe The Fall covering Merle Haggard?!




*blink* *blink* Yeah, I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall the day Mark E. Smith arrived at this decision! "Let's cover 'White Line Fever'-uh! I love-uh that Bakersfield sound-uh!"

No, not one of The Fall's finer moments. Still, you can find on their 2008 LP, Reformation Post TLC.
