Lemonheads - Luka [1989]

This cover of Suzanne Vega's hit song 'Luka' was on Lemonheads' third album, Lick, that came out on the indie label, Taang! A couple of albums later, after signing to the major label, Atlantic Records they hit the big time with another cover…Simon and Garfunkel's, 'Mrs Robinson' (1992).

For their first few albums, Lemonheads (the definite article was only commonly used later on) had songwriting and singing duties shared between Ben Deily and Evan Dando. Deily left after Lick was released, effectively making the band a vehicle for Dando.

Also worth checking out is 'Mallo Cup' and 'Circle Of One', both Dando compositions. '7 Powers' and 'Anyway' are examples of Deily's writing and singing.
