    I`m rather fond of this though generally I prefer cover versions that are quite an alternative take on the source song

    Had to have a look on Wiki'
    Missus was adamant it was an oldie from the 60's.

    Apparently it was originally called Denise by Randy & The Rainbows

    I had a couple of mates heavily into Japan at the time, didn't do a great deal for me then though I do think I second that emotion is great - even bought the single, seven inch vinyl ! But you might be right cause I recently got a best of type thing of theirs....perhaps the retrospective momentum is building...now, wheres my eyeliner gone?

    Not sure about the revival bit - there is another vid of them on YouTube doing this song only last year - wouldn't recommend watching it though...

    How about this cover of Eleanor Rigby done by Aussie band Zoot...
