Osaka Popstar’s cover of “Fish Heads” is a sea change from the original. Adding a bit of stripped-down Ramones styled punk into the mix, Osaka Popstar energize and spin the effort into something that will bury itself as deep into the minds and hearts of listeners as it did about 40 years back. The video throws a bit of John K-esque art into the mix, making for a full multimedia experience. Osaka Popstar are one of the few acts that are able to craft a cover that both stays reverent to the original while forging off in a bold new direction.
