does anyone else sort of think its wrong that bowling for soup asked if they could cover this song? I don't really think its wrong, I guess I just feel like SR-71 got cheated. I didn't even know they really did this song until I got this cd (after i heard the bfs cover) well its cool, they both sound good but i do like sr-71s better.

This is a SR 71 song and the cover is from Bowling for Soup, as you can read in Wikipedia From SR 71 article: "They're best known for their 2000 hit "Right Now" and credited as the authors of Bowling For Soup's 2004 hit "1985"." From BFS Article: "Sales of that album were driven in large part by the radio airplay of the single "1985", a cover of a much-lesser-known SR-71 song" As a matter of fact, in the Bowling for Soup's video, Mitch Allan (the lead singer of SR 71) appears as the son of Debbie, if anyone had noticed.

Taken directly from www.sr-71.net, the offical site of this band: "GREAT NEWS!!! "1985" By now you all know that our song "1985" has been released by another band, Bowling For Soup. Well the great news is that it is BLOWING UP! It's a funny story how this came about. The lead singer and songwriter of BFS , Jaret Reddick, got a hold of "1985" from the new SR-71 CD HERE WE GO AGAIN and loved it and wanted to record it for their new CD, A HANGOVER YOU DON'T DESERVE. We were so flattered that we said hell yeah!" Way to go, you fuckheads, tease some kid you don't even know for being RIGHT. I hope you're proud of yourself.

I like the COVER. Which is what this is. I'm sure they would've been cheated... Were it their song. But as it says on THEIR website, IT'S BOWLING FOR SOUP'S SONG. They covered it.
