Alex Lahey – “Ego Is Not A Dirty Word” (Skyhooks Cover)

The Australian label Mushroom Records is marking its 50th anniversary this year with a bunch of covers and some live shows. The latest contribution to the celebration comes from Alex Lahey, who covered “Ego Is Not A Dirty Word,” the title track from the Aussie band Skyhooks’ 1975 sophomore album. “This song has so much energy and passion,” Lahey told Rolling Stone Australia. “I don’t think I could ever conceive a song like this with all its unpredictable twists and turns.”
