The Hives - Go Right Ahead



Well, this music video for the Hives' new track is pretty awesome, featuring the Swedish rockers traveling around a city in blimps, top hats and dress coats for their catchy new single which debuted around March. As much as I dig the track though, its still hard to get over how hard they ripped off ELO's (Electric Light Orchestra) classic 1979 track, 'Don't Bring Me Down.' At least they gave Jeff Lyne, the writer of the original an unofficial writing credit to try and cover their bases. Yet you have to stop and ask yourself, how hard is it to come up with your own 4 chord riff? Oh well.
