Yesterday, I heard a slower, darker version of “Lovefool” by The Cardigans while I was bumming around Victoria’s Secret looking for that special V-Day gift. It was a male singer - slightly slower than the original - and very sparse instrumentally with a rhythmic bass thump. It had an effect on the vocals that I don’t know the name for — sounds almost like it was recorded through a scratchy mike in the bathroom. Anybody have any idea who sings it? I tried allmusic, but I struck out. There was a goth/industrial type cover, but that wasn’t what I heard. Anyone? ---
