My first thought - Lou Reed and Velvet Underground knock-off, at least in
terms of style.
Yes, it seems to be musically an incredibly simplistic (and boring) song,
and the lyrics seem to be pretty banal.
Now that we know what we're working with, my second gut reaction was:
Pretend you're singing "You'll never walk alone" from CAROUSEL. Use the
modulations into higher keys to inject an ever-increasing amoung of
intensity, excitement, and go all out on the chorus (which I didn't hear
in the clip, but which - given the banality of the music and my past
familiarity with Cave's writing - is utterly predictable). Instead of
emulating Cave, think Freddie Mercury in the band Queen at its most
operatic.
Good luck!
