The Dream Academy - Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want (1986) [Original Post]
Did The Smiths do it first? Sure, but why let that spoil a good time? There's no reason that Ferris bloke needs to get in the way, either. Dream Academy's airy, renaissance fair overhaul blows the dust and self-loathing off of the guitary ode to angst, making its soppy title play more like an affirmation to fulfillment than the usual Morrissey bellyaching. The Dream Academy cover turns the song into the soundtrack to its own good time. Yeah, I would like to listen to this in an art museum. Or maybe a nice outdoor restaurant with creeping vines on lattice. Or just at home after a good spring clean. Anywhere a dream might come to pass, really.
