Title: Tell me about "Don't Change"
Post by YoungWriter on Dec 22^nd, 2005, 9:19am

I only have two live versions: one electric, one acoustic. Could someone is this a live only thing? Is it a cover? If so, who did the original?

Thanks.

Don't Change is a cover song, originally by INXS. Goos version is way better! I don't think there is an actual version that was recorded in a studio.

If you want to hear the original INXS version, it's on their "Shabooh Shoobah" album, which is still one of my most favorites ever.

Both bands do a fine job with this song.

Yeah, it was also the first song Mike recorded with the Goos!

I think Grinspoon or Greenday did a cover of that song too, and it got in the top 40 2 years or so ago.
