''Harpoon'' is a song by Australian alternative rock band Jebediah. It appears on the band's debut studio album ''Slightly Odway'' (1997). The following year, it was released as a six-track EP by record label Murmur, which reached number 46 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. == ''Harpoon'' EP == The cover art for the EP uses a photograph that was taken by the father of band members, Kevin and Brett Mitchell. The EP contains a cover version of "Harpoon" by Melbourne-based band and label mates Something for Kate. Jebediah's lead singer Kevin Mitchell was interviewed in May 2014 by Richard Kingsmill on national youth broadcaster Triple J,〔 recalling: He (Paul Dempsey) got a few words wrong, but that's OK, I can understand! Actually, the first time I heard it was live, at Pushover. It was great. That's the first time we'd ever heard a band play one of our songs. It was such a buzz. And the fact that they did it so well was even cooler. The EP also includes Jebediah's cover version of Something for Kate's track "Clint", which appeared on that band's 1996 EP ''....The Answer to Both Your Questions''. Something for Kate included the Jebediah cover of "Clint" as the B-side on their 1998 single, "Roll Credit". Dempsey, Something for Kate's guitarist-singer-songwriter, explained to Kingsmill: In true Jebediah style, it has a lot of energy and it's a lot poppier. I think it has more appeal than the original. When we listen to our version of it, it drags. It's muddy. And then you hear the Jebediah version and it automatically puts a smile on your face. It just picks you up. You could jump off stages to their version.〔 The EP also contains a cover of "I Ran", originally by A Flock of Seagulls. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harpoon (EP)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
