Scissor Sisters are rubbish and ruined this song
Well I don’t think it would be that bad /the cover by SS/, and I would not use the word “ruined”, but it is just incomparable. The PF song is perfection. SS one is just kinda.. interesting.
Saw Pink Floyd perform this live twice in London during “The Wall” gigs in the early 80’s. Guitar solo on top of the wall lit from behind by a red laser. Unforgettable.
