No Doubt today released their first single since their reformation — a cover of Adam and the Ants’ 80s hit “Stand and Deliver” — and while the song’s actually pretty decent, there’s something inherently pointless about a powerhouse 90s rock group going on hiatus, Gwen Stefani riding solo for a while, then the band unexpectedly reforming in 2008, only to then release a barely-updated cover of a quarter-century-old new wave song.
Coming in 2010: Morrissey and The Smiths reunite to cover “White Christmas.” Bad example, actually, I’d love to hear that…
