Blue Monday - Orgy (1999)




"Blue Monday" is a dance pop song originally recorded and released as a single in 1983 by British band New Order. Some years later American Synth rock band Orgy featured a hard cover of this song on their 1998 debut album "Candyass"; and is considered Orgy's breakthrough hit.


Featured on the 1999 soundtrack to the Jennifer Love Hewitt's vomit sandwich titled "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer"; is this one of those rare examples where the covered version of a song is arguably better that it's original ?

I agree it is better than the original. Problem: They both suck! Always hated new wave and electronica music, but you already knew that...
