Echo & The Bunnymen - Lovers On The Run

Hole: Do It Clean (live)

I just love dirty girls with guitars. Courtney Love portrayed Sid Vicious' girlfriend in the movie "Sid & Nancy." Here's a video of a young Courtney Love interview (Fifteen Minutes Show, 1987) talking about Hipsway and The Ramones.

"Miss World" is the first single by her band Hole from their album Live Through This, released in April 1994. This adulterated live cover version of Echo & the Bunnymen's "Do It Clean" is one of the bonus tracks from the CD single. I'm sure it's Out-Of-Print!
