As a rule, cover tunes usually suck...that being siad, I think BFS and Death Cab both did righteous versions of this song.
I hope Sweet sees them as the flattery they surely are!
Love bfs the only true music genius left in this era of idiot teens and their destruction of true artist like bowling for soup Green Day Papa roachMy chemical romanceHIMGood charlotte Sum 41 Blink 182 and bands like that that make true art
To order the versions by quality...the original by Matthew Sweet is definitely the best, this version comes in a close second...and the Death Cab for Cute version is just horrible! The singer sounds like a wimp in their version!
