This is the last of the Rhythm Pop Pick series (so far). This last one is special because on top of all the other requirements, this compilation had to also match one more criteria. It had to be a cover. New wave danceable pop covers. Some were not hits, some are way worse than the originals. But a few are amazingly great. No one but me seems to love Yoko Ono , but the B-52's covering her is just amazingly good. So Rhythm Wave, so Rhythm Pop. If you are not sure who did the original of each of these songs ask in the comments and someone will come to rescue you and answer. Remember that this is the last one of this series, although this goes hand in hand with Handcuff Dancing and soon to be posted: New Romantics. Make sure to check them out!
