⭐️Today we celebrate the 11th anniversary of the cover’s release as a ๐๐๐๐๐๐ (June 12th, 2011) but several months earlier, on September 12th, 2010, it was first out on Losers’ album “Beautiful Losers”.
The ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ includes the album version, radio edit and four remixes.

⭐️๐๐๐๐๐๐ are ๐ฌ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐-๐ด๐๐๐๐๐ and ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐.
Eddy Temple Morris is a British musician, DJ, record producer and TV presenter. He hosted London radio station XFM's specialist show The Remix for 15 years, before moving it to Soho Radio. He joined Virgin Radio UK in 2017 and currently presents mid-mornings on weekdays. Eddy is a “dance floor provocateur of the highest order. He coined the phrase ‘Ibiza Rocks’, was their first resident and has been largely credited with seducing a generation of rockers to loosen their belts and think with their hips.” (๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐ต๐๐๐๐, ๐ฝ๐ข๐๐ฆ 2010) Another half of Losers is ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐, a keyboard, FX pedal and guitar player.
The ๐๐๐๐๐ of how Summertime Rolls came into being is quite impressive.
๐ข๐๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐-๐๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ: “I'm a massive Jane's Addiction fan, and Perry Farrell, their lead singer, loves his electronic music. I always wanted to cover this electronically, and knew that it would be the last track on the album, so that, in a sense, the album would sonically follow a dynamic 'M' shape and leave you with this. […]
I played bass on this and Tom came up with the amazing guitar-like sounds on his laptop, and maybe using one of the array of synths in his collection.
When we finished, we thought about vocals and considered sending it to Perry Farrell to revoice it. I had a connection through the Hybrid boys, who've worked with him closely. But we kinda wanted it to be more 'ours' and felt a UK vocalist would be better. That left us with two choices, who we felt could do Perry's vocal justice. Brian Molko of Placebo, who I knew, and Robert Harvey of The Music, who my friend Danny McNamara knew.
We first felt that Brian would overshadow us, so prepared to contact Robert, but we then switched sides, I think, because were both such huge Placebo fans and really relished the chance to work with Brian. But it was only a snowballs chance in hell, Brian was a busy man. I texted him and he replied that he knew and loved that song but couldn't make any promises. I sent the track, and within 24 hours had a hilarious message back saying: "I love it. I'm doing it. I won't let you use anybody else on this, I'm free on ONE DAY this year, and I'm coming to your studio".
He did. With a cold. But it was now or never. Brian had this incredible tea called 'Throat Coat', or something, an American, medicinal brew containing 'slippery elm bark'. I tasted some and it was like magic! It literally coats the back of your throat in this yummy, slippery stuff, so you don't get that horrid scratchy feeling from a sore throat. Brian said it's the 'singers' best kept secret'. That combined with the brandy he sent me off to buy - purely for medicinal purposes - in miniature bottles did the trick and Brian laid down, I think, one of his best ever vocals. We really stretched him, and he rocked it like the true pro he is.
I don't think Brian has ever recorded a vocal in such scummy conditions, in front of a multi-stained, upturned sofa, masquerading as an impromptu vocal booth in the Coopers control room. Now I look forward to the day he sings it live with us.”
(๐ถ๐๐, "๐โ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ต๐๐๐ข๐ก๐๐๐ข๐ ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ", ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐ 8๐กโ, 2010)
Luckily for Eddy and Tom – and for us, of course! - complications didn’t stop Brian, so we’ve got this great cover done. However, I’m pretty sure they all had a lot of fun in the studio while recording๐
๐By the way, sometime earlier, in 2009, there was another kind of collaboration between Losers and Placebo: ๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐’ ๐๐๐๐๐ (๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐) of ๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ก was released on the single Ashtray Heart.
๐In the end, it would be unfair to not listen to the original song by Jane's Addiction.

⭐️๐๐๐๐๐๐⭐️
Fell into
A sea of grass
And disappeared among
The shady blades...
Children all
Ran over me
Screaming tag!
You are the one!
He trips her as
Her sandals fail
She says stop!
I'm a girl...
Whose fingernails are made
Of mother's pearl...
Yellow buttercup
Helicopters
Orange buttercat
Chasing after
The crazy bee
Mad about somebody...
Me and my girlfriend
Don't wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper
Sunlight...
She loves me
I mean it's serious
As serious can be...
She sings a song and
I listen to what it says:
If you want a friend
Feed any animal...
There was so much space
I cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime...
And it rolled
Summer... oh...
Oh... the summertime rolls Me and my girlfriend
We don't wear no clothes you know
Her nose is painted in pepper sunlight
I love her
I mean it's so so serious
As serious can be
