MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Released somewhere between today and tomorrow in 1998…

depending on which streaming service you believe…

Orgy’s debut album Candyass…

gave an ’80s classic a very ’90s makeover.

“Blue Monday.”

Of course, “Blue Monday” wasn’t originally Orgy’s song.

New Order released it back in 1983…

and it became one of the defining songs of that decade.

But the original 12-inch single
came packaged to look like a floppy disk…

If you don’t know what that looks like – Google it.

Nevertheless, the sleeve was reportedly so expensive to make…

they initially lost money on every copy they sold.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“How does it feel?
How should I feel?
Tell me how does it feel?
To treat me like you do.” – Orgy covering New Order’s “Blue Monday”
