Original mod sound VS mod'79
Mod ‘79: THE LAMBRETTAS - Poison Ivy / Runaround
Poison Ivy in principio fece ballare i mods negli anni 60 con Manfred Mann, era il 1966 per l'esattezza quando fù pubblicata. Più di un decennio dopo però arrivò l'ora di un nuovo revival mod e ci pensarono i The Lambrettas a rendere ancora più ballabile il brano nel '79-80. Qui di seguito i brani (sia l'originale che la cover "Lambrettista"), il testo e le cover album.

The Lambrettas Poison Ivy Testo
She comes on like a rose and everybody knows
She'll get you in Dutch
You can look but you better not touch
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poision Ivy comes creepin' around
She's pretty as a daisy
But lookout man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
If you let her get under your skin
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poision Ivy comes creepin' around
That beat will make your jumpy
And blues will make you lumpy
The way it rocks will make you jump and twitch
The rhythm's gonna fool ya
The slow backbeat will cool ya
But Poison Ivy Lord will make you itch
You gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
You'll be scratchin' like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poision Ivy comes creepin' around
That beat will make your jumpy
And blues will make you lumpy
The way it rocks will make you jump and twitch
The rhythm's gonna fool ya
The slow backbeat will cool ya
But Poison Ivy Lord will make you itch
You gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
You'll be scratchin' like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poision Ivy comes creepin' around
