It's Sunday somewhere (SUTC)

Artist:
This is a great cover by Pete Townshend of a Dave Wakeling tune. Dave Wakeling,is an English rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He is most famous for singing and writing songs for the 1980s ska bands The Beat (known as The English Beat in the U.S., as an L.A.-based band of the era had established use of the "Beat" name) as well as General Public.
The Beat's sound was born when Dave and his bandmates started speeding up Reggae tunes, making the songs even more lively and danceable. Around the same time, local Coventry band, and eventually fellow ska icons, The Specials were developing a similar sound, but while the Specials dealt almost exclusively with political issues, the Beat mixed in romantic themes.

Well its Sunday here, but too warm to be under the covers...
Perfect timing for this hemisphere to put the feet up and enjoy
Well, two in a row by Pete T. And I liked them both. I would have bet against that.
were you a betting man that is
Maybe there is something to this Townsend fellow after all.
