Chocolate Starfish Cover 4 Non Blondes’ ‘What’s Up’
Melbourne’s Chocolate Starfish have found another song to cover. This time its 4 Non Blondes 1993 hit ‘What’s Up’.
“We briefly lived in LA in the early 1990s, we had just released You’re So Vain in Australia, and we were letting that take its course,” Adam Thompson says. “What’s Up? was on MTV and I was enamoured with Linda Perry as a quirky female. I remember saying to the boys how much I would love to write with her and how a 4 Non Blondes – Chocolate Starfish tour would be great. That obviously never happened, but the song always remained a favourite staple for me, so unsurprisingly, it surfaced in a crowd sing-along. Who knows… Linda may hear it and my boyhood fantasy might still come true.”
