I’m currently addicted to SongPop, the music quiz game in which you compete against another player to correctly identify songs in different categories. I’m a master of the ’80s Collection (surprise) and ’90s Alternative, but have less of a lock on anything rap related (unsurprisingly). I’m also comically bad at Animated Movies.

One Hit Wonders falls somewhere in the middle, with my accuracy depending on the decade that sole hit had its day. The ’70s present the most obvious gap in my knowledge. In my last go-round of artists’ solitary claim to fame, I correctly identified Haddaway’s “What Is Love,” a fitting inclusion as UK trio [STRANGERS] have just recorded the 1993 dance-pop classic.

It’s not an entirely faithful cover, however. [STRANGERS] have kept the chorus intact while rewriting the verses and some musical bits to better fit their own dark pop sensibilities. So the band’s take on “What Is Love” is less likely to elicit involuntary SNL-inspired head-nods than some downward glances toward the dance floor. By subtracting the insistent beat, there’s no hiding the pain at the song’s center — “Baby, don’t hurt me no more” — making [STRANGERS]’ new rework a wonder that should be a hit right now.
