Apparently, when the Click Five CD was originally released, it contained a cover of Tommy James and the Shondells’ “I Think We’re Alone Now.” Some of you kids may remember it as being a Tiffany song. At some point relatively quickly into the album’s release, it was reissued…with the Tommy James song replaced with a cover of the Thompson Twins’ “Lies,” which, frankly, kicks ass. So, basically, it was a good move. I’m just mystified as to why they would’ve considered the original cover choice in the first place; I know they’re unabashedly out to achieve fame, no matter what it takes (which explains why they took the opening spot on an Ashlee Simpson tour), but, really, given that there’s a generation who now believes it was an original song by the aforementioned redheaded ’80s teen queen, you’d think they would’ve realized that it would’ve hurt their credibility more than helped it…
