"I Think We're Alone Now" was released by Tommy James and the Shondells in 67. Exactly two decades later, Tiffany covered it. "I Think We're Alone Now" is a song about youth, sung by youth -- Tommy James and Tiffany were 19 and 15, respectively. Tiffany's version feels even more youthful, but also more immature. The original ages better and better evokes, in its quiet moments, the feeling between two young lovers that there is no one else in the world. Congratulations world, you win this one.
