If that's referring to their cover of "I Will Survive," I remember a
friend being annoyed that they *werent* playing it ironically. She
insisted on some rule that I had never heard of written somewhere in the
Geneva convention or the vehicle code that since the original was so
campy, it could not be played seriously by anyone else.
It's sorta like the Ramones taking a very bad novelty record like
"Surfin' Bird" and turning it a pretty great rock n roll song.
