Music Carly Simon writes about 'How Lyrics Work'. Although she concentrates on her own writing and self doubt at actually being any good, the main root of her arguement really works -- that the best songs or lyrics work, no matter who is singing them. Being a huge fan of bizarre cover versions (Wheetus 'A Little Respect' is a wonder, so is Less Than Jake's 'I Think I Love You') this does ring true -- if Atomic Kitten's 'Eternal Flame' works at all it's because the original stands up. And for those counting that's the sixth Kitten mention. Three more and that whole sorry state of affairs can come to an end...
