Arab Strap were responsible for quite a sequence of unlikely cover versions over their career. Bonnie Tyler and Kiss also received the loving, but drunken, caress of the Arab Strap cover version.
This heartfelt, melancholy, but almost falling apart version of Van Halen's strident synth-rocker 'Why Can't This Be Love?' was recorded live at the Cottier Theatre in Glasgow 2003 and sold on their European tour that year, an album that went by the name 'The Cunted Cirus'. Bless them.
