The performance keeps close to the original while adding some of the band’s familiar sound, making it more of a faithful rendition than a radical reworking.

Parker’s previous Like a Version covers were all of 1990s songs, and each was originally released in 1994; Tame Impala are due to resume touring in May 2027 with UK and European arena shows and festival appearances.
