I agree, the wikipedia entry makes it seem like there are great similarities, but I would feel more comfortable if some band from Pennsylvania or Ohio had produced the cover.

As a big fan of both 80s Britpop and modern Country (Sugarland are a fave), I think that they're both great. Interestingly, some of the social experiences sung about in modern country music are strongly akin to the social experience of the North in Dream Academy's original. If you take a look at the Wikipedia entry for the song (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_In_A_Northern_Town), you can trace the threads of kinship. They make sense. Still, I can't see The Housemartins getting covered by SHeDAISY any time soon. I don’t know that this is quite “defacement”.
