Deborah Harry reached back into '60s garage rock for "Liar Liar", releasing it in 1988 with Mike Chapman producing. The song first belonged to the Castaways, the American garage band who recorded it in 1965 and never had another hit. Jim Donna wrote it on a napkin at his parents' house, with the band's drummer Dennis Craswell and Donna's sister Joanne helping him finish it, and the whole thing took 2 hours. Harry's version came along more than two decades after the original.
