The Last Dinner Party have covered Blondie’s ‘Call Me’ for triple j’s Like A Version series. They also performed ‘Burn Alive’ from their debut album, Prelude to Ecstasy, which was just nominated for the Mercury Prize 2024. Watch their session below.
In the interview, Abigail Morris and Georgia Davies explained they picked the song because it used to be their go-to song at karaoke. “We would destroy it at house parties and clear the room,” Morris said. “This is us trying to reclaim all those years and do it well.”
“What’s good about this version is we didn’t try and do it like her because I don’t think I could’ve,” she added. “I think it’s nice we’ve been able to reinterpret it and do more of an homage rather than trying to be Debbie Harry because no one can.”
