"A Hazy Shade of Winter" was released by Simon & Garfunkel in 66. The Bangles covered the song -- as "Hazy Shade of Winter" (because articles are so old-fashioned) -- for the soundtrack to 87's Less Than Zero (based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis). Simon & Garfunkel is one of my favorite late 60's musical groups, and The Bangles is one of my favorite late 80's bands. However, neither version is one of my favorites from either band, although the cover does fit the film. The only memorable part of either version is the first 30 seconds of the Bangles' cover, which evokes the titular season. If only that season wasn't so short-lived.
