Jet - Cold Hard Bitch
Cold Hard Bitch/Everlovin' Man/Ain't That a Lotta Love/ You Don't Look the Same [Demo Version]/Cold Hard Bitch [Live]
"Cold Hard Bitch" is the fourth single (second in the United States) by the Australian rock band Jet, from their 2003 album Get Born. It was released in 2004. The song reached #1 on Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Tracks, giving the band their only #1 Modern Rock hit. The single also spent an impressive 8 weeks at #1 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The song was produced by the Hothouse team, Craig Harnath and Finn Keane. When the song was performed at Live 8 in Canada in 2005, the name was changed to "You're Like This". It is believed that this was done to cover up the word bitch, as they were playing for a benefit concert. Track 2, "Everlovin' Man", was a cover of The Loved Ones' 1966 hit.
