Buster Poindexter version
[
edit
]
The song was later covered in 1987 by American singer
David Johansen
, as his lounge singer persona Buster Poindexter, and released as the first single from his album
Buster Poindexter
. It garnered extensive airplay through radio, MTV, and other television appearances. The music video is unique in the fact that it crosses the two identities: despite being in the Buster Poindexter persona, the video begins with Johansen briefly mentioning his role as the frontman for the 1970s proto-punk band the
New York Dolls
, showing the band's vinyl and tossing them aside while talking about the "really outrageous clothes" he wore and how he came to be interested in a "refined and dignified kind of a situation", which leads into the song.
In an interview on
National Public Radio
, Johansen called the tune "the bane of my existence," owing to its pervasive popularity as a
karaoke
and wedding song.
