The cover was shared yesterday (January 26) by Willcox and Fripp as the latest Sunday Lunch videos. The series first began as a creative outlet in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 lockdowns but has continued ever since then due to its enduring popularity.
In the video, which offers a more classic rock take on the track, Willcox stands on a table dressed in a long, black evening gown with gold gloves and sunglasses and dances while a wind machine dramatically blows her hair back. Fripp accompanies her on guitar, sitting close to the camera wearing a bow tie and a serious expression.

Throughout the series so far, they’ve tackled some of rock music’s most iconic hits, including Iggy & the Stooges’ ‘Search & Destroy’, Alice Cooper’s ‘Poison’, INXS’ ‘Devil Inside’ and Blink-182‘s ‘Dammit’. Over Halloween, the duo took on David Bowie’s ‘Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)’ – which Fripp originally played lead guitar on.
The success of Sunday Lunch has also seen them take the project on the road in a series of live performances, including their Christmas Party 2024 tour, and a set at Glastonbury 2023.
In an interview with NME at ahead of their slot at Worthy Farm, Wilcox spoke on the series’ enduring popularity and future: “At the moment our social media numbers are growing. So as long as those audiences are there and that kind of pull is there, we’ll keep going. But I will not watch him do anything that makes his health suffer. At the moment though, he is utterly remarkable, his playing is remarkable.”
Fripp then replied with “Yes, it’s true. I’m godlike when I step upon the stage.”
In other news, Fripp’s main band King Crimson released a 50th anniversary edition of 1974 album ‘Red’ last year, which features new mixes of its songs by producer and band manager David Singleton dubbed as the “Elemental Mixes”.
As for Willcox, she’s set to support The Human League on July 5 for their huge outdoor show in Llangollen. Tickets are on sale now and you can find yours here.
